As far as the guard goes, I mean.

If arrested and convicted in civilian court and sent to jail, they are technically AWOL. When they return to duty, they will arrested for DV and AWOL. There will be a Courts Martial. If found guilty this time, they can face federal jail time, military brig time, forfeiture of all pay and allowances from the time they were arrested by the civil authorities, and will loose the right to bear arms, vote, and probably never be able to get a good job after that. The two things you need right away is a good civil attorney and a great military attorney.

Their career is pretty much over. Due to the "Lautenburg" act they can no longer posses a firearm, even on duty (if convicted of domestic violence). They would possible be discharged, or allowed to finish their current enlistment, but their duties are limited, as they can no longer carry a weapon. They are useless to the military.

You cannot remain in the Military with a DV conviction. If you are convicted of DV, you will be discharged.
Steven: The Guard is not "hard up." It is actually over strength right now at a total of 353,000 where they are only supposed to be a force of 350,000 members.

Depends on the incident, and final disposition of the case.
I would strongly suggest that person tell his Commander officer straight up. The Guard is so hard up who knows.
As far as being a MP, an arrest for that charge might just get him booted from being an MP. Serious charge depending on the circumstances and outcome.

DV is a career killer. they wil llose their Clearance if they have one and lose their weapons Quals. Since MPs are required to be able to carry a weapon, he would be kicked out. Probably with an OTH or worse, meaning he is screwed when it comes to Benefits.

In addition to their civil punishment they can face military charges. In Canada it would be "Conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline". Possible dishonourable discharge.

Civilian courts will prosecute him and then the military courts will get him afterwards...and most likely they will be discharged.

That happens TO them? As in, they were the victim?
No.
If they were the perpetrator they will be discharged under Lautenberg.
