Why would my recruiter stop communicating with me after trying to switch from the UASR to AD?

Alrighty, so.. August 2016 i swore in to the US Army, shortly after i decided to switch my contract to be in ROTC with a concentration the uSAR.. August-April 2016-2017 i participated in ROTC at my college and decided that route just wasnt for me, i had recieved several scholarships from the program and didnt want to just give up military so i decided to enlist active duty. I went to my original recruited and we got all of the papers filled out. We were waiting on my USAR captain to release me from the unit. In the mean time i never heard anything back from my recruiter. He has all of my contact information and has had it the entire time. Its now June 2018, i have a 3 month old daughter and i still receive monthly update emails from my USAR unit. I honestly have no clue what to think. I did good on my ASVAB, i have no criminal record, i always done good on my PT Test. Any explanations for what happened? And could they hit me up some day and have me go in.

Did you ever go to basic training and job training? Also for the release it could just be taking some time because it has to be a General Officer to sign the release. The release is given back to you from the Reserve unit. It could be that the Recruiter is waiting for you to bring back the release. I would try again but please note that getting the release from your unit does take some time.

Did you contract with ROTC? If so, it takes forever to get unenrolled from that. Also, they should be able to tell you what your status is.

once a DD for 368 is filled out, your recruiter isnt allowed to do anything else. the form has to be signed by your first general officer in your chain of command. 90% of the time they don't come back.
