BE A PROUD MEMBER OF THE TEXAS MILITARY FORCES - TEXANS SERVING TEXAS

That one in red disqualifies me, as I've never served in any branch of the military. Besides, I'm getting pretty close to 60 and my health status is so-so, so they would probably prefer not to have me anyway. But it sounds like a worthwhile organization.

But if you go on down a couple, it says that prior military is not required. It's just that if you ARE prior military you have to be honorably discharged.

I have worked alongside the Texas State Guard a time or two and you folks are amazing! I appreciate all you do for the great State of Texas. 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!
