Yes The National Guard is a military orginization and you have made a commitment to it. They can and will send you to Jail if you go AWOL Some things to clarify here... the only time you can actually be AWOL from a National Guard unit is when that unit is federally activated under orders which transfer the command from the National Guard to the Regular Army... ipso facto, it's technically not possible to be AWOL from the National Guard, since the unit is no longer National Guard when activated in such a fashion. If you miss UTAs, that's not treated as AWOL.
If you're called to active duty and you fail to repair, yes. If you simply miss your UTAs, you won't be arrested.
He can be courtmartialed for being AWOL (Absent Without Leave). And unlike active duty, you wont go to jail, you will bedishonorablydischarged and it will be a hefty stain on your record.
AWOL
Toward the end of his service in the Air National Guard, George Bush stopped flying and attending sessions at the base. He asked and received permission for this from his commanding officer in order to attend business school at Harvard. There is an open question as to whether this was a matter of favoritism, based on people that he knew or was related to.
In "Unwind" by Neal Shusterman, Connor is frightened by the idea of being kicked AWOL because it symbolizes a complete loss of control over his fate. Being AWOL means he would be hunted down and possibly unwound, which is a terrifying prospect for him. This fear is compounded by the uncertainty of what it means to be truly free in a society that views unwinding as a solution to its problems. Ultimately, the threat of being AWOL represents the stakes of survival in a world where his life is not valued.
AWOL = Away With Out Leave
Being AWOL - means you have left somewhere that you were expected to be - without permission. It's typically applied to the armed forces, especially the army. If a soldier leaves the base without authorisation - he is considered AWOL, and would be disciplined on either his return, or capture !
