I'm seriously considering joining the Army to get my life rolling. I'm on my fifth yeah of HS Due to Past Screwups(Laziness). My first choice was the National Guard, but most benifits point at a college education but I dont even know if id qualify for any of it with such a low gpa.

If anybody can tell me if this is a good idea, yeah I know I may fight but I do take great pride for my own country so this is not an issue...

Any stories or anything to help me decision will be appreciated! I already contacted a recruiter.
