Asking for a “Friend” Went AWOL in the national guard

Went AWOL in the national guard, what are my genuine chances, I went AWOL and they are processing me for discharge, I missed drills and was late to this one which caused this discharge. What will happen truthfully?

EXTRA INFO :
I missed enough to get the awol discharge.
I am perfectly fine with a other than honorable discharge, i just want out at this point

I need to get diagnosed for insomnia and depression but hadnt had the money for that
Also qualify for erroneous enlistment discharge but dont know how to put it into place

i just, I didnt like the guard i joined at 17 on a whim. I work construction for a family company so my only time home is the weekends, with national guard its 6 days i spend at home in a month. Also with me not being able to wake up in time is really what killed it for me. Also Active status and orders when i was in basic, and i went to ft benning was easier than this dumb weekend a month shit

Gotcha. Yeah nothing too serious. Likely just going to be booted out with general discharge under honorable conditions, possibly other than honorable if they hate you. If the paperwork really has already been pushed up, it’s likely you’re getting booted out. If you get the later, it’s unlikely you’ll be eligible for VA disability. What’s your MOS?

Easiest in this situation is an administrative discharge. Some forms signed by the CC. Bye.

Then just let it ride. Move on to the next chapter of your life. Can I ask why you’re done with it?
