What!? You can't survive one week in the National Guard? That is a cake walk!? All you do is show up and do what you are told then go home! How hard is that? Sheesh!
How do you think you will survive as a CHP officer? I hope you don't join any other service because you will get someone killed by your laziness and incompetence.

If you talked to them about it already AND they agreed to let you go, which I highly doubt, then it probably won't be too bad. It'll be administrative something or other and would not preclude you from coming back in.
It WILL, however, for sure prevent you from joining the Air Force. They would need to get approval from the Recruiting Squadron Commander to process you, and that won't happen. They turn away smart committed people every year cause they don't have enough jobs for them, why would they waste time and money taking a chance on someone that's already proven they don't have any dedication. I don't know about CHP or other civilian employment, it probably wouldn't technically prevent you, but it'll be there on your record and again any high quality organization that cares about tenacity and character isn't going to be impressed.
If you have yet to inform them, and/or they haven't agreed to let you go, which is what I suspect, then you need to rethink your decision right quick. Unlike the regular Army, when you swear in with the guard you are fully in the military before you leave for training. I don't care if you like it now or not. If you stop showing up to drills then they will issue a warrant for your arrest. They will then force you to drill, and if becomes a problem then they'll proceed with the criminal charges.
If you have a problem with the job you selected, you can still change that, but it's too late for you to just walk away. You should have more carefully considered your decision before you enlisted. Now, you need to spend some time with your recruiter figuring out what's going to happen next. I hope you'll grow up a little and stick with the guard. You'll find it'll do a whole lot more for you than they ask in return, and it'll definately make you a better person than you are now.

You will probably get a General Discharge under honorable conditions.
Unless you were in trouble with the military when you got out, the it might be under less than honorable conditions.
You won't get a Bad Conduct Discharge unless you went to trial.

Because you have less than six months service, you will probably receive an "entry level separation." This is a discharge without a service characterization, because your weekend of military service wasn't long enough to characterize.

If you can't do the national guard, what makes you think you can do the AF?
And CHP, are you kidding me?! They have a very tough "basic training."

Nope. Your a quitter. Why would anyone waste their time on you. If you don't have an honerable discharge (you don't) you can't enlist again. And as far a becoming an officer, thats funny.

if you wanted air force, but not all that goes along with going "full time" im assuming that's why you joined the Guard...why not go AIR Guard?

Laura B has got a point - maybe try the navy - you dont have to be so good but most military are similar when it comes to initial training

I wouldn't expect a high rating for not fulfilling a contract. You may not be welcome in another military unit.

if you quit so soon - the military probably isn't for you
