How do I get out of the Reserves?

I joined the Army Reserves because I thought I could get my foot in the door do I could go Active duty. The reserves were my only choice because of a mistake I made in the national guard when I was 17 which apparently carries a lifetime punishment with no chance to make it right. Now I'm stuck doing something I hate in a place I hate working for a paycheck that every cent goes into going back to drill. I cant keep this up it's either all)full time) or nothing(reserves)

Update:

Cant switch to AD. I tried. Tried volunteering, my MOS is not needed.

    So the way I read this, you were in the Guard and screwed up. You were lucky enough that the Reserves were willing to waiver that and take you in and now you hate that. Simple solution, just stop going to your drills. They eventually will kick you out for failure to show up for the drills. Then you will have two permanent strikes against you and can be happy as a civilian forever because after two strike outs, no one will take you for anything.

    You have two choices here, in six months with your reserve unit, after AIT you go active duty or just volunteer for war after AIT.
