I've been getting letters from all branches of the military since I was 16, I think everyone does. I'll be 18 in 2 days, so lately they've been coming like crazy. I took the time to actually read one instead of my usual meh, toss it in the trash routine...I'm thinking about joining the National Guard. I don't know yet, I am no where near making that decision. The benefits are good, and they'll pay for my full college education and...it just looks worth it....
