Default Back in the Army Again

After a long debate I decided to go back in the Army National Guard. I figured after 8 years of active duty I may as well. It looks like I will be heading South volunteering for the Mexican border patrol being attached the the Arizona National Guard Infantry. Some call me crazy but someone has to do it.

It's easy to be a "Chicken Hawk" talking smack about defending our country.
You on the other hand, are actually doing something positive to defend our country.
I would like to thank you for your service.
You sir are a true patriot.
