Mods, i didnt know where to put this so i put it here. If this is the wrong place then do with it what you will.
Im considering joining the Texas State Guard. My experience with recruiters in the past has been pretty annoying so im trying to find answers outside of the recruiter to determine if its a good fit for me.
For those of you who are members, ex members, or family of members:
1) what is the duration of joining? Does it last until your too old, several years, until you quit showing up, or what?
2) I live in austin which to my understanding is the TSG HQ. What are the odds i could get a position there if i have a fairly demanding full time job?
3) they dont issue uniforms... do they issue weapons and other gear? do these items stay on base/training centers for training purposes? Will i have to supply my own gear?
4) what is their basic training like? How long does it take?
5) if i can motivate my girl to join would we be able to work together(probably administrative duties or manual labor)? I think it would be fun to help the state with her.
more questions to come as i think of them.
