  • Texas State Guard

    Started by Clay Coonce

    Could someone enlighten me as to the purpose of the State Guard? Don’t get me wrong, I think its great! I just don’t know much about it. My Grandson keeps talking about joining the Marine Corps but I keep telling him to wait to get drafted like I was. If the State Guard is a real force with training and so forth, I would rather him join it. I’m a secessionist so I like the idea of a State Army.

    As far as I know the state guard is here for Texas’s emergencies and is not deployable by the U.S. government.
