National Guard

The Texas Army National Guard is a great way to serve your country to the fullest extent possible. Many of the people shy away from this because they think that they will just get drafted into the infantry and get shipped off. That is not the case because they actually try to get kids away from the infantry. They would rather you be an officer working in an office not on the frontlines

I am an American Soldier. I am a Warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States and live the Army Values. I will always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade. I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself. I am an expert and I am a professional. I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat. I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life. I am an American Soldier.
