National Guard for Another Three Years.

I must be crazy. I just re-enlisted on April 25, 2009 for another three year contract with the National Guard. I have to admit, it was a bittersweet thing for me. With our economy today, I would have a hard time finding a job. Right now I hold a good job, good pay and work with great people. The catch is, in order to keep my job I have to be enlisted in a current contract. I never planned on re-enlisting. I remember a few years back I was counting down the time until I could get out and be free, but here I am now stuck for another three years.
