My 17 yo son is joining the ARNG as a 35M. He is signing a 3-yr contract this week He will drill with his unit immediately but cannot ship to BCT until Oct/Nov. After that he attends DLI for 9 mos and then AIT. When it is all said and done he will have about 6 mos left on his contract when he finishes AIT. At that point, he may want to attend college in a different state (he was accepted to Univ of Hawaii Manoa). Would he be allowed to move from his unit in our home state to Hawaii ARNG at that time? Not sure if they have 35M slots in Honolulu. He would want to do ROTC at UH. Any insight would help.

Yes, he can transfer to another state's ARNG units. How easy it is depends on following the procedures and I will post a link to that here. The basics are getting the Readiness NCO at the unit and the Interstate Transfer Coordinator at the State level involved as soon as he knows where he is going and where. It doesn't hurt to do some homework and find a unit that has a slot already, but the job of the IST in both states are supposed to handle that part of it anyway. Here are the rules. https://www.nationalguard.com/how-to-transfer-to-another-state

Depends. Is there an open slot for his MOS and rank? Is the "gaining unit" wanting to take him? Is the "losing unit" willing to let him go? Those are his 3 hurdles to overcome. Phone calls and leg work is gonna need to happen. Because, if there is a NO for any one of those 3 hurdles, then he won't be transferring.

Shouldn't be a problem. He should use the UMR to find slot spots for that state.
