I started to and got done on the national guard end. It was pretty easy. All I did was tell my unit what my intentions were. I think I may have had to write a statement of intent. Then I had to turn in all my gear. Once I had cleared supply it was only a matter of a couple weeks until I got my conditional release.

If I remember right mine was approved within a month. It all depends on how on top of things your unit is. I think the only place mine got hung up was at the Brigade level. It has to go to a general officer. I've heard of them taking the better part of a year. Just keep checking up

I did back in the early 90's, it took getting the state IG involved for my guard unit to release me. Other than that your active duty recruiter does all the work.
