What about the National Guard? There is an Air, Army, Marine, and Coast Guard. These people do not just fight foreign wars but also help in local / regional / national distasters.<br><br>In the past 10 years I have built dams, dikes and pulled stranded flood victems from thier homes in '93, brought food, water, and power to those stranded by the ice storm in '96, and of course assisted with the WTC disaster.<br><br>It is a great way to recieve training, help your community, and still work a regular job and come home to your family every night!
