Not really. I just talked to a recruiter here where I live, and they had a banner year last fiscal year. And my daughter just called me on Friday to tell me that in May when she is 17, she wants me and her mother to sign her up for the National Guard. She will do boot camp between her Jr. and Sr. years, then her job training when she graduates. I have no problem with that and neither does her mother. So it is a go. I could not be happier. Next to walking her down the aisle when she marries (years from now I hope), and seeing her the second she was born, watching her graduate basic training will bring tears to my eyes.
And yes, going without your normal paycheck could be a hardship, but back to what JJ and I said, this is an ALL VOLUNTEER FORCE. No one puts a gun to the heads of the fine men and women who are serving. It is sad that they have to lose their house, but before I get all wrapped up in their emotion, I have to make sure that this is all in the proper perspective.

BTW, you don't think going without your normal paycheck for 2+ years would be enough for you to have to sell your house? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
