Form 368 - What happens if I change my mind on switching from reserve to active during the process?

So around November 2020 my 368 form was being sent up my chain of command. However I got the chance to hop on a deployment with another unit. Since then I have changed my mind on my transfer to active. So I am wondering what is the "point of no return" I don't know if the release was ever approved or probably post-poned. Considering it gets approved, can I just never bring the complete form back to my recruiter? I have messaged my NCOIC,but due to time differences I won't hear back in a few hours and thought I may get a quicker response here.

The point of no return is when you sign that active duty contract. It's a conditional release, meaning you are only released on the condition that you enlist in another branch. If you don't, then you aren't released.
