my brother just came home from basic last week, and it has inspired me to join. he really doesn't want me to go in, but i have wanted to join the guard even before he left. he says it would be too rough for me, women like me shouldn't follow in that path, stuff like that. but it's something i believe i can dedicate 8 years to. i want to be in the family, have great benefits, and get paid doing something new. what should i do?
