WELL, now I don't know, lol. At first he was looking at the National Guard because we know a friend in there and junk. But NOW he's thinking he might want to join the REGULAR army instead of the reserves. So either the army or the reserves is where we're at ><

And then I'm glad you have that money! And it's pathetic how many full time jobs don't pay for your basic living expenses. Casey generally makes wnough, but we got behind when some of the rent got lost in the mail, and he certainly does not make enough to cover that. It's one of the reasons the army is attracting him - besides family tradition, his dad was in the army - because while he's gone, I would go live at my mom's and we would be able to save, save, save. THEN we'd have money in case of an emergency and in general, have something to rely on for rent. How does the money they send you every month work?

@ Insanity's Artist
I feel ya. J is a veteran now, but in school. I'd be lying if I didn't say that the money they give us every month isn't a HUGE help because otherwise - we wouldn't be able to live where we do now. I technically am a part-time employee, but I get full time hours and still isn't that great of money due to bills and rent and everything.

What branch is he looking into?

@ triplehearts
He's not actually in yet, lol. He's considering it right now, but it looks like things are leaning that way. He works at Dairy Queen right now which is why finances are a pain.

What branch is Casey? Trust me, I'm in the same exact boat. Except the GI Bill will be kicking in next month, but the "summer" months were so incredibly stressful - I would cry sometimes just because of how nervous I was about missing rent.

So feel free to vent to me! I totally understand! c:
