Are there exceptions for those who could possibly be unavailable on a Saturday?
yes with a valid excuse...they do expect you to try to be at the drills, its 1 weekend a month, but if you have a valid excuse, but not EVERY time, I think the requirement is 70% of the drills or like 9 out of 12...it may be 10 out of 12 but not sure. Our leaders are understanding...we know in these hard times people have to work, its not active duty 24/7 ya know.

And just like Federal Service if activated you are protected from employment loss due to military service...there is more to it and a trained recruiter will know more.

I can tell you what I know and have learned from actually participating and being at drill and training...the heavy "signing up" stuff is best left to a recruiter

If you want to learn more shoot me some questions to WarHawk-AVG (at) comcast (dot) net

or PM me and I will give you my phone number and we can talk over the phone..just put TXSG on there...if you don't want to go to the TMAR side there is Army, Medical, and Airforce side as well.

in the mean time...this is a bit more info you can look over

I have considered "enlisting" but it just isn't a possibility at this time. My current position has me deploying to some of the same events that you folks do so it would be a conflict at this time. Maybe in the future though...

Thanks again for all you do! :txflag:

T.
You can't with a viable reason, there is NO dishonor in that, its you the people we serve...others can...who is willing to step across this line, like so many ago at the Battle of the Alamo, Goliad, and San Jacinto? And at the very least...if you cant join us...support us...we do all we do with minimal funding...we pay for everything out of pocket to support you, our fellow Texans.

Texas State Guard

Here is the deal folks...I am in the Texas State Guard...we are NOT a Paramilitary force, we are a group of "Citizen Soldiers" who have volunteered to give our time and our money, and our hearts and minds and body to be an Emergency Response Force, a force multiplier to assist law enforcement and medical personnel when due to overwhelming destruction they themselves are spread so thin they become practically ineffective .

Texas is known as being the best state in the union...the best because when push comes to shove Texans TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN...period...we don't need outside help to pick up the pieces and offer a handup...its our nature and in our spirit as Texans.

We can no longer rely on the Federal Government to protect our borders...as we can see their main focus is on ramrodding this unwanted and bloated healthcare package down our throats..it is now up to US TEXANS to step up to the plate and defend our own...its time we put SELF back in self defense!
The only way to do that is keep talking, keep going to TEA parties, keep making your face in the sea of faces be seen...but also in putting your name on the dotted line, putting your money where your mouth is...and by surging the ranks of the Texas State Guard I GUARANTEE someone in Austin will take note. We need a swelling or a surge of Texans willing to go the extra mile, not just to attend TEA party meetings or rallies, but to put on a uniform and stand shoulder to shoulder with fellow Texans in time of need...not to say "I will"..but to SHOW "I AM!"

There are a conglomeration of people in the Texas State Guard, former military, civilians, doctors, lawyers, law enforcement, medical, heck we even have a rocket scientist, literally, it does NOT matter if you are former military and you do enlist, you will not be sent to a 11-13 week bootcamp, you will however go to a few weekends of bootcamp style training to test your mettle and to basically educate you on proper military etiquette and protocol though, we want dedicated people who will be there when they say they will and know some on how to be a semi-professional soldier.

I am not asking you to just jump feet 1st and sign up...get educated on the Texas State Guard, knowledge is power and helps you make rational and proper decisions. http://www.txsg.state.tx.us/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Go to the website, talk to a recruiter, we need honorable, dedicated people willing to step across that line in the sand, deep inside a voice is screaming "Enough is Enough, I'm mad as hell and I'm not taking it anymore.

And ladies..this applies to you too, just because you stay at home with the kids doesn't mean you are exempt from squaring your shoulders and showing your kids that when you say something you mean it, we can use EVERYONE that is willing to serve.

I guess all my ranting and raving all boils down to a few words. Its now time to stop talking the talk and start walking the walk, put your money where your mouth is!
