Friend of mine's kid did the 'early Guard' thing--his boot was to be split over the summers after 10th and 11th grade--but had a minor hernia during initial...messed all that up. At any rate, he's a Rat at VMI now, and pop is quite proud

Someone should drop a call to his First Sgt. Then see what stories he comes back with.

UPDATE: in my embarrassment (and going to be 300 plus people on monday) his girlfriend informed me that he is just going to weekend drill. and that its a big spoof.  :o

People at school were shaking his hand saying how proud they were of him and people said they were going to build him carepackages this weekend

I was 17 when I enlisted in the Guard. I did the split op program where you got to Basic the summer between your Jr and Sr year. Before you even go to basic you have to have your MOS picked out. You can't get deployed until you have graduated and finished AIT he is messing with you.
