So true! I was speaking with one of my friends whose boyfriend was deployed this past week. She said that he is in a reserve unit (of somewhat last possible to go) and he enlisted in order to furthur his education as well. Although he won't be directly fighting this war, he is having to go to Iraq. His is being compensated well, but the fact still remains is that he is/was an
ACCOUNTING major who is being deployed overseas for the war!
Think about if me, a nurse enlisted, I probably would be one of the first ones to go! I don't know, even though I was thinking that by that time, maybe the war would be resolved, I guess you never know when something is just gonna pop off.
I don't think that people who enlisted 3 years ago would have thought that by the end of their four years, they would be activated either. She said that one of his frat brothers who is serving with him (whose four years would be up in like 2 months), they told him that 'you can forget that'! I guess in wartime, if you are close to your time limit, or JUST finished your service time, if war ensues, they have the right to call you back
I don't know, I might just need to bust my booty and try to get my hospital to pay for my schooling!
