PFC Private RallyPoint Member 5360277 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Hello All, I recently submitted a DD368 to be released from Active duty to National Guard. I submitted this due to my spouse threatening me with divorce and keeping my child from me. It was been a huge burden on me financially and mentally. For months I have been taken advantage of and my son has been used as a pawn to collect money from me. Does anyone know of this is something that can actually be processed? Both battalion and brigade retention NCOs have advised me that it’s not a real thing and that if I want to get out to “fail my APFT”. I was a bit surprised to hear that from a E7. I showed him the DOD instruction showing that this form can be used to transfer between components. For the hell of it I asked if I could switch branches that would allow me to be closer to my son and he said it won’t happen. I do not want to get out because I legitimately enjoy the ARMY. Who would have to approve this? If anyone has any information for DD368 I would appreciate it. Thank you. 2019-12-19T14:16:27-05:00 PFC Private RallyPoint Member 5360277

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No, you cannot use a 368 to go from Active to Guard/Reserve. It can only be used for going from Guard/Reserve to Active Duty.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>No. It doesn&#39;t work that way. No one can approve it. It doesn&#39;t matter if the Division Commander signs it for you, it will not allow you to separate from the Active Component. All the ways for separation from Active duty are in AR 635-200
