National guard..

i am thinking about enlisting in the national guard. i am talking to the recruiter in teh begin of dec.. i am still a little undecided. i was wondering if anyone has already enlisted and what their views are. whether or not you like it or regret it, the pluses and minuses of it. i want to get into the wheeled vehicle repair or the heavy vehicle repair. im going on to school for diesel tech and thought this would be a great way to learn more. also the money looks good too. and im paying for my education by myself so the gi bill would help alot. some of the things that make me undecided are being away from my family and girlfriend. they are a big part of my life and would not want to be away from them for 9 months if i were to go overseas. any opinions reguearding this would be greatly apreciated.
thanks to all who serve!
