Apparently Jamie Lynn Spears’ fiancé Casey Aldridge doesn’t want her to be the only one who brings home the bacon. Aldridge plans to contribute some pork of his own earning, by joining the National Guard. Right now the 19-year-old works as a day laborer. Probably not the kind of guy Jamie Lynn’s parents had in mind for her. But it appears Aldridge isn’t content to live off of Jamie Lynn, despite all the speculation to the contrary. So he’s decided to join up, even though one third of Mississippi’s National Guard gets deployed to Iraq.
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.

A couple of thoughts here. First, if you’re terrified of telling your fiancée, you’re probably not ready to get married. And if you’re terrified of a 17-year-old girl, you’re probably not going to make the greatest soldier. Lastly, if you’re terrified to tell aforementioned 17-year-old pregnant fiancée because she’s “going to blow sky-high,” waiting until she finds out from the National Enquirer is a great way to get yourself locked out of the house and all your clothes set on fire. At least that’s the route I’d be going.
Jaime Lynn has managed to stay away from the cameras lately – header photo is an older picture of Jamie Lynn and Casey pre-pregnancy.
Hell, that might be a great idea. The military is wonderful at turning boys into men. Maybe it’ll give him the tools he needs to be a good father & husband
I disagree, teenage girls can be terrifying! 😐
Yeah, I’ve seen live fire a number of times, and there’s still nothing more frightening than when my teenage niece goes fucking Exorcist on her parents.
If he actually goes through with it, I’ll be very impressed.
I was once an extremly terrifying teen girl, and i was quite a bitch while pregnant, so i can’t imagine what a horror I would have been as a pregnant teen!!!
Once the DNA test comes back proving he’s not the father, he’ll BEG to be deployed.
LOL @ Scott
Yeah, I agree (from experience) teenage girls are…scary. My health teacher in high school, who had eaten monkey brains, survived an alcoholic insanely-abusive mother, and who had disguised her gender so that she could sit in on a male coming-of-age ritual in Borneo, said the one thing she’d never ever do is get in the middle of a fight between two high school-age girls.
Jokes aside, I think it’s commendable of him to do things on his own. At least he isn’t being like k-fed, even if he continues with day labour or gets some work in a factory, good for him and good for them.
KFed said he wasn’t going to live off Britney’s money too…. Now after a few years and a divorce under their belt, his primary source of income is the baby mama.
This story (if the Enquirer is to be believed) is merely a blind.
Regardless of the Spears situation, serving your country is always commendable.
I can see it as having a personal benefit for him as well. A little direction for this kid can’t hurt.
OK, a couple of things here….Why are there little to no pictures of her pregnant?
I thought the older man at her production studio was thought to be the father?
I guess time will tell!
Mos, it not all, of this story is bullshit.
Well that’s an effective way to avoid responsibility while looking like you aren’t.
He sounds like a hard worker who does not want to sponge off other people.
