...the people signing up for all this "EXTRA", and "FREE" money for some weekend Nat'l Guard duty are FULLY informed of the possibility of being called up BEFORE they sign. Maybe they should have taken their "guard money", and put it in a savings account for the time they do get called up. We had a local guy here get called up right after 9/11. It didn't take 2 weeks before his brand new 4x4 truck was out on the highway with a FOR SALE sign on it!

You two win the Jerk of the Day award. You sound like you belong on one of those RAT sites.

If Guardsmen are on active duty defending our country, they deserve our support.

And screw the doctor, dentist, or RN that has a practice and an indefinate obligation as an officer, right? So what if they have to lose their practice over a lengthy deployment? They were fully informed about all this at the very beginning, right?
