My 42 year old sister, Alison, joined the National Guard a year or so ago...no prior service, she just decided it was the thing to do I guess. She's always had a bit of a wild streak in her and she's tough as scrap iron.
Anyway, she arrived in Baghdad in the last week or so, thought I'd start a thread for folks to drop her a line, offer advice if you've been in country, or whatever.
Thanks Sis!

She was about to join at her age? Especially with no prior service? I didn't think you could at 40. But, cool none the less..

I thought she was over the age limit as well, apparently not.
Edit: thinking about it, she'll be 42 in May, so she was 40 when she joined.

Tell her "head down" are her two favorite words. My wishes for her safe return. She has my complete respect for her service.
