Why shouldn't I joint the national guard? I don't want to go to war. I'd hate to have to live halfway across the country and be that far away from my son. Although if it weren't for my son I would love to do the Navy, figuring chances of fighting are slim to none and I would have the benefit of seeing the world. But I smoke too many cigarettes and doing the water thing would be murder on my lungs. I also doubt I'd pass the psychological tests, if I were to be honest.
