Have the regular Army recruiter help you fill out a DD368. Give the DD368 to your chain of command to sign. Bear in mind your Natioanl Guard does not have to sign the DD368 if the don't want to. Normally a unit commander will sign a DD368 without a problem. However, if your unit is preparing to deploy your commander may not sign off. Also, if your commander is concerned that you are a knucklehead, he might not sign. A transfer to another component is a priviledge, not a right.
