National Guard/ROTC after West Point?

I left West Point at the end of my Yuk year due to grades. I am currently in ROTC at a 4 year university and am looking to join the National Guard. The recruiter for my area is saying that I will have to attend Basic Training this summer, however I have also heard that it is not necessary because of Beast and Buckner.

Has anyone gone through this before and are there any tips I should know about when dealing with the recruiter?
