6. No problem,
As long as they tell the truth.

Do you see the TV commercials about going into the Army Reserves -"We are going to train you right here until you are needed" - I want to throw up. Of course it is what they don't say - "And as soon as you're trained we are shipping your ass of to Iraq - with no benefits at all."

The day the Army uses Reserves or Guard for what they are meant to be - a last resort - I will support it whole heartedly. Until that day I remain a great skeptic.

And I think all parents should be VERY skeptical.

Joe
