Tennessee State Guard

[Guest nraforlife]

Guys and Gals

The all volunteer Tennessee State Guard is looking for prior service and special skills non-prior service recruits. There have been significant changes in the TNSG over the past few years and it is becoming much more of a player within the State Military Department.

If interested the website for HQ is http://www.tnsg.us/ and check out the training academy http://www.tnguardacademy.org/

Let me stress that this is not the old 'coffee and donut' lardbutt organization that it was once rumored to be. The pay is still the same $0, the medical/retirement benefits haven't changed - there are none, but the good that the organization does in the State is growing by leaps and bounds.

End of my PSA...

It's kind of funny, I was just wondering if this type of thing existed. I see that one of the executive officers is a gun shop owner down here in Chatty. If the training is free, I may look into this.

The 4th REGT works A LOT with the NG based in Chatt. Training is free, the TNSG Academy is free, your cost is in your uniform - boots, BDU/TDU etc.. But the supply officer there may be able to procure a lot of the items for you. Hope you check them out.. Wish more would as the TNSG needs prior service or special skills non-prior volunteers.

Are they still wearing stuff that spotlights them as TNSG?

Big bright patches? bright nametags? still in BDUs?

What would a 20 year combat vet with First Sergeant experience be assessed rank wise?? Private in charge of watching grass grow?

[Guest devilsalmostfree]

325 went in for the invasion, we arrived there on feb 15th 03, i did get stop lossed, had to stay an extra 2 months, instead of coming home in like july, i had to stay until end of sept! no biggy, but felt like forever while i was there! my unit came home, like jan 28ish, 04! then went back for the election!

[BimmerFreak]

Yeah, I knew they were there for the invasion.

They were part of the 1st AD combat team if I remember correctly. (but im getting old... so that may be wrong. lol)

[Guest devilsalmostfree]

[Daniel]

Wasnt 325 in Iraq till early 2004? (like Mar 04) Im surprised you didnt get stop lossed.

I was there mar 03 - feb 04, we had guys get stop lossed for about the first 6 months and then they let them go home.

[Guest devilsalmostfree]
