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.
