isaac, you still could have gone silly. your wife would have supported you anyway, my brother in law, who's 17 is in the process right now. joining at the same location. i dont remember his jobs he was looking at, ill have to ask. its a great opportunity with good benefits. i know he is gonna get a $20k sign on bonus. and for some reason, another $2k bonus. along with school 100% paid for. then his $500/month for 2 days of work. if i wasnt needing full time pay, id def. be looking into the guard.. i might change down the road too. im jealous, that im goin active, and not gettin any money.. he's goin guard and gettin $22k!! wtf? lol
