You're going with the Nasty Girls? Common and join the reg Army, that's where all the fun is at. (j/k) Although, I do feel like I should tell you that being Enlisted isn't all it's cracked up to be. Becoming an officer, from the thirteen different military men I've talked to and know, is the best course. If you want to join the NG, look at trying to go into the ROTC. That way, whenever you meet your brother he has to salute you. (Not to mention you can boss him around too ;D). All joking and suggesting aside, I love the fact that there is a good section of this clan that is going in, are in, or were in the military. It goes to show that even a warrior can still be a Christian. Hooah!

hrmm i see.. and pfft@ eric. enlisted life was fun. and i can say that legit. little responsiblity, you could get away with alot more as an E5 than you could as an O1
but in regard to the whole national guard thing. i mean they are weekend soldiers. untill they get activated then they are right there with us.
make sure its what you want to do before you sign those papers. make sure you pick the right mos. and remember its a learning experiance.

Awesome man! I hope the Guard fits you. Good luck at basic...do you know what MOS you got yet? I might meet you if you end up at Benning this summer.
I've actually been dealing with the Guard a lot lately...I'm most likely entering the SMP [Simultaneous Membership Program] within the next few weeks. It's done through the Guard. Essentially it's a dual-membership program that allows me to go to Basic Training with the Guard over the summer [with ROTC, extra training is ALWAYS good], obtain Military education benefits, come back to school and contract with ROTC again in the fall. This makes me legally undeployable, so my education won't be interrupted if my unit is called up. The best part I think though, is being able to have the experience of enlisted duty under my belt before I try to lead enlisted soldiers as a 2LT after I graduate. I plan on going active after I commission, so the Guard isn't my final goal, but I still appreciate some of the great opportunities they provide to us Cadets.
