It is not easy.u00a0 One signs an enlistment contract for a specified number of years, that includes active (Drilling) service and inactive service.u00a0 Misbehaving or going Absent Without Leave (not showing up) can get you u201cchaptered outu201d and there are long time legal consequences for this.u00a0 Considering that the Guard often involves only drilling it might be best to serve, and not reenlist.u00a0 If it is a real burden, work with your Commander and 1SGT and Personnel Section (S1) cooperatively and see if you can get your contract changed to more inactive time, or make some other arrangement.u00a0 There is no better pride to have later in life than knowing you served honorably.u00a0 Remember, this will be a life changing decision and you may truly regret it later.u00a0 I strongly advise you work with your chain of command to get out honorably.u00a0 Messing this up is something you will regret later.
