[QUOTE="soonerwings, post: 2310775, member: 8035"] I can't speak for everyone, but I can tell you that I'm screwed if this thing goes on for a while. After departing active duty, I chose to be a reservist and attend law school. Working for the reserves and drawing my GI BIll benefits was the equivalent of having a couple of low paying part time jobs. Since I have no debt, I've been able to pull it off. Now that the government is shut down, drills for the National Guard and Reserves have been cancelled until something gets straightened out budget wise. This is a budget hit for me and a military readiness hit for the nation. Several months of no drill will result in a reserve composed of cash strapped members who are out of practice in our career fields. When you consider that the National Guard and Reserves account for a significant portion of our nation's military capability, things get a little scary. [/QUOTE]
