The Militia of the United States consists of all able bodied men between the ages of 17 and 45 who are or have declared intent of becoming citizens of the United States. Females who are members of the National Guard are members of the Militia.
The Militia is composed of two parts, the Organized and Un-Organized.
The Organized Militia is the National Guard and the Naval Militia.
The Un-Organized Militia consis of all who are NOT members of the National Guard or Naval Militia.
There are some exceptions some of which include members of the regular military on active duty, mailmen, river boat pilots, and several others.
So, guess that leaves out us OLD guys though, to the best of my knowledge, the Texas State Guard does not have an age requirement, but I believe in the old adage of "Who is the Militia, it is the entire body of the people."
