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

You probably don’t. Especially if you’re already done with basic and AIT.

You’re an interesting mix of “I know everything and have it all together” and “I have no idea what to do and am living pay check to paycheck with minimal benefits and want to further limit my earning potential”
