If I do not attend my NG Annual Training (AT), would I get punished if I was not aware of or given any info about it?

I got switched units, but was told no actual information. I only found out about getting switched bc I asked my old supply sgt about when I’ll be getting my gear. I was only given my new supply sgt’s number and when I called the first time, he was also unsure about what is really going on. He told me the dates for AT but was unsure if I was to go. He told me to wait for an email while he speaks with the 1st sgt. It’s been awhile now and still no email or calls. I tried calling twice more and it went straight to voicemail each time. If I do not attend AT, would I get punished for something I was not aware of or given any info about?

Most likely not. Keep a record of every time you called, who you spoke too and what the conversation was about. Soldiers transferring in, without gear, often do not end up going to AT. This is not a hard rule, just my observations as someone who spent 24 years NG.

If you don't show up for AT and they come looking for you, make sure you've documented everything you've done to try to contact them. Phone calls, emails, text messages, etc. Are you close enough to drive to the armory? If someone isn't answering the phone, call someone else. If you can't get in touch with someone in the new unit, ask your COC in your old unit. The NG is a pretty close knit group. I'd be surprised if they couldn't get in touch with someone.

If you are not getting any answers from your Supply Sergeant (whom I am guessing is your first immediate supervisor), then it's time to elevate your questions to the next level.
