Upon leaving the military, how many of you plan on joining a local militia?

I see where you currently serve in the Tennessee State Guard, MSgt Steven Holt, NRP, CCEMT-P, so I assume your interview experience was dissimilar to mine and your service there has been more rewarding. I interviewed with the TSG when I retired in 1998, and I was really disappointed with facilities, equipment and their expectations of me. All they really said was they'd make me a full colonel on the spot. I said that wasn't really my interest or goal, but they really didn't offer much more.
Perhaps your MOS allows you to make a more fulfilling contribution.

LTC Stephen C. - I am still part of the State Guard. I'm in the 61st Medical attached to 2nd Battalion 3rd Regiment. It's been a challenge for sure. We are woefully understaffed, under-equipped, under-utilized, and receive no funding from the State. Plus, for several years, we've had senior Officers and NCOs who have viewed the Guard as nothing more than a "Good Ole Boys" club and a chance to relive their perceived glory of Active Duty.

Fortunately, at least in the 3rd, we're trying to fix some of what's broken. We are slowly building a strong cadre of dedicated NCOs who are trying to breath some life into the organization. Only time will tell if we are successful or not.
