Schuh, Schaefer Enlist In Army National Guard


One Warsaw man enlisting in the Army National Guard wants to become a police officer, while another just wants to do something for his country.

Ashton Schuh, 18, Warsaw, a graduate of Whitko High School, is the son of Michael Schuh and Wendy Obacz. Michael Schaefer, 26, Warsaw, is the son of Joe and Cynthia Schaefer and attended Wawasee High School.

Ashton said he wanted to enlist because he “saw it as an opportunity to pursue my desired career path. I want to be a police officer.”

He wants to go to college while in the National Guard and get his criminal justice degree. After earning his degree, he said he plans to apply for jobs in criminal justice.

“I’ve got a couple of friends that are already police officers,” he said.

Michael said he joined because, “I know a lot of people do it mostly for the glory, but I just want to do it to say I actually did something for this country.”

Down the line, he said he’d also like to be a police officer.

He will go to basic training Feb. 8 at Fort Benning in Georgia.

Ashton is going to basic training May 11 at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri.
