So Im a split op trainee with the Guard. (Complete basic and Graduated HS in Dec 2017) I was supposed to go to ait April 16th but the date wasn't confirmed and now i only have 12.5 weeks to go and be back in time to start college (Since i enrolled with the knowledge ill leave and be back in time) I just text my NCO Admin that i wont leave if i miss college and she threaten me with a failure to train discharge (For a very seemlier reason my friend also split op request a discharge today). Now she is tryin to work with me to send me one of the listed MOSs
92A 92Y 89A 89B 13F 13D
She said before i can even go back to meps i need the BC to sign off on the reno. How long will this take, of those moss what slots what are open, and start this May, and finally if i do get discharge what will it fall under? What can I do to speed up the ship process to leave this Month?

I do really wanna stay Army but has honestly fucked up my life plans and I need the money for a higher edu.
I can Support one year of college by myself after that i most Re enlist or enlist into a different branch (AF)

MORE CONTEXT
2 weeks ago when this was found out i was told that i shouldnt have enrolled and its my problem to deal with. Ive already have a housing contract with my college, 7k in grants, and have already paid fees to the school.
Theyve know since May 2017 Ill be graduating in Dec 2017

How has the army messed up you life plans?

You obviously don’t have the money for college so it’s just helping your plans!

Also wait a semester to start college!

It's all your choice but pick MOS you like best, get AIT training dates lock in, then determine college semester you enroll in based on AIT graduation date. Then take advantage of all the education benefits the Guard has to offer. Cynthia Croft

PFC Private RallyPoint Member I agree with MSG (Anonymous) about selfless service. The military works on their schedule, not yours, and the Army has not messed up your life. Quit complaining and work on solutions. Work on your grammar or you will not pass College English.

Nowhere in your enlistment documents did it indicate that you will complete Phase2 Or AIT In time for the beginning of college regardless of Dorm or Scholarship or Tuition Assistance/Loan etc. I would go to the School and meet with the Registrars office to seek assistance prior to departure for ArmyTraining and get their response signed and in writing.

Go through your chain of command and if they are not willing to help you, contact the Office of the Inspector General and your Congressman. That usually has a way of getting you the assistance you need. Also create a good, detailed documentation of everything! Go back to your enlistment contract and hold them to it. The specifics should be CLEARLY stated on your contract. Good luck and don’t give up! Create a comprehensive paper trail to protect yourself and don’t let them try to kick you out because it will probably not be honorable. They could try to TDP you, so get ALL your ‘ducks in a row’!

You should have honestly waited to enroll in college until you have completed your training. Your life is not over just because you haven’t shipped and decided to enroll not knowing when your leaving. School is secondary so you should get your priorities in line. I tell my soldiers all the time school is not an excuse to miss training.
