Expertise
I am a National Guard recruiter and localmarketer, been doing it for five years and am a subject matter expert on qualifications for National Guard and I keep up to date on Regular Army regs and programs. I was in the Navy for 4 years and have 11 years in the Guard.
I will not sugar coat my answers to you. They are usually short and to the point. If you need more in depth, ask me. Because each situation is differnt, alot of times you need to actually talk to a recruiter and let them evaluate your situation in person, by looking at your documents, issues etc. If I suggest this, it would be in your best interest to do so.
Finally...thank you for your interest in serving this great nation of ours. Very few people can actually make the cut to serve let alone choose to do so. So thank you for wanting to and hopefully you will get a chance. Whatever branch you choose, thank you and good luck.

Question
Hi:
I enlisted in the USAR with the split option program on december 2007 and went to boot camp that on summer 2008. Then I came back to college to study for the whole year and went back to AIT on summer 2009. I did not completed AIT because they gave me a REFRAD because they didn't wanted me to loose the semester. I decided I want to go Air Force ROTC. I already talked to the Air Force commander and he said he has no problem letting me in the program but I have to get a conditional release from my unit which is a DD Form 368. I want to know who has to sign that form and what are my possibilities that I will have success in what I am trying to do.
Answer
Getting released from USAR is hard and takes time, but not mpossible. Go thru your unit admin and request to meet with your commander. Usually a brigade commander is the lowest allowed to approve it, but he will go off recommendations of your commander. Be sure you have your ducks in a row when you request it, and it will need letters from the AF ROTC saying they willa ccept you upon release from the USAR.
