I'm 16 nearing the end of sophomore year along with my best friend throught the year the friend has missed a lot of school at least 3 to 5 whole school weeks the reason being games and an awful sleep schedule. He has terrible grades in third quarter with all d's and f's and a single a. 

He will most likely not get accepted into a single college at this rate. His plan however is that he will go into Iowa National Guard and that will be some miracle that turns his life around. My friend is not overly athletic he doesn't do sports and at most lifts maybe some weights not the sets but just the small dumbbell and fights occasionally.  His sleep schedule is God awful recently he didn't wake up until 5 pm. 

This fear is exasperated by the fact that I saw a friend of mine who is in national Guard working at a gas station  saying that the Ng is more like a part time job. When I went to tell my friend why I didn't think it was a good idea I was told off by him and another friend who is a junior and in alternative school that wants to go into national Guard that I'm being egotistical and that it will work out. I don't believe that either of them but especially my best friend will even be able to qualify for it. AITA?
