Air Finish
After I finish my enlistment with Air National Guard can I switch to Active Duty?
I have recently swore into the Air National Guard, but am thinking I would have rather done active duty. I hear it's too late to change my mind now (even though I havent left for Basic yet). So, I was wondering if, after I finish my enlistment for the ANG, I can then enlist as Active Duty?
In short, the answer is no. However, your situation is a little different so read the following very carefully and take action from there:
The Reserves and the National Guard do not have a Delayed Enlistment Program. The very second you take the oath, and sign the enlistment contract, you are in the Reserves (or Guard), you are assigned to a specific manpower slot in a specific unit, and you are entitled to receive pay for weekend drills (in the active duty DEP, there is no entitlement to pay), even if you have not been to basic training, and/or job-training school.
This means, if you change you mind, the discharge process is entirely out of the hands of the recruiting command, and lies in the hands of the commanding officer of the Reserve or National Guard unit you are assigned to. This makes the discharge process much more complicated. An active duty DEP-discharge is relatively simple, handled by the recruiting command, and requires little paperwork. A discharge from the Reserves or National Guard requires a full-blown discharge package initiated by the unit commander for the unit you're assigned to, even if you've not been to basic training, nor attended any paid drills.
Your first step should be to make a request for discharge, in writing, addressed to your commanding officer. Your letter should clearly state your reason(s) for discharge. If you don't know who your commanding officer is, your recruiter should be able to put you in touch with him/her, or provide a phone number or address.
Your commander will consider your request, and either approve it (by initiating discharge action), or disapprove it. Keep in mind that the commander does not have to approve your voluntary discharge request.
So, what happens if your commander disapproves your discharge request? You then have two options: (1) You can report to ship out to basic training on the date indicated on your enlistment contract, or orders, or (2) you can simply refuse to ship out to basic training.
