Casey Aldridge Considering Joining the National Guard

Jamie Lynn Spears’ fiance (aka Casey Aldridge) is tired of relying on Jamie Lynn’s income to support the family and decided to make a career for himself. According to sources, the 19-year-old day laborer, plans to enlist to the National Guard even though one third of Mississippi’s National Guard gets deployed to Iraq.

According to the National Enquirer (June 16th Ed):

Casey Aldridge wants to be all that he can be – by joining the Army National Guard after Jamie Lynn Spears delivers their baby, sources say. The strapping 19-year-old day laborer has met with an Army recruiter several times, but he’s terrified to tell his 17-year-old fiancée, insiders tell the Enquirer.
“Casey wants to enlist in the National Guard after the baby is born. But he’s kept his plans secret from Jamie Lynn – and there’s no doubt she’s going to blow sky-high when she finds out,” a close source said.
“Joining the military has been a dream of Casey’s since long before Jamie Lynn came into the picture.” With “ Zoey 101″ star Jamie Lynn’s acting career up in the air, Casey thinks the National Guard is a good career choice, according to insiders.
“Joining the National Guard appeals to Casey’s sense of adventure and patriotism,” said the close source.

Not trying to hate on the National Guard but doing it for the money sounds a little ironic. How about taking some cash and going to college? He’ll be out before Jamie Lynn spends it all and can then support his family even better…
