I’m really trying to switch from Active to National guard. Is this possible? I’d like to talk to a career counselor or a recruiter or someone who actually knows the process and has seen it before.

No, it is not possible to "switch" from Active Duty to National Guard.
If you have already reported to Active Duty, your options to get to the Guard are:
1. finish your contract and contract to the Guard, or
2. request a hardship discharge to get out early, and possibly get a RE code that requires a waiver to contract to the Guard.

No, you can contract to the NG six months from ETS. Your contract starts the day after you ETS. You can ask a Recruiter and they may give you a 368 Conditional Release, but that means they are a cherry recruiter and don't know what they are talking about.

I doubt very much that you would get a conditional release signed by your command.
