Friends, one of the comments I frequently hear from security officers who are not veterans is that they don't believe they can compete with veterans for jobs. There is sometimes truth to that, but it is not always true. First, just because someone served in the US Armed Forces does not mean they were a good service member. I served on active duty with many people I would never hire for professional private security work, for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, integrity, competence, and work ethic issues. Second, there is another option for those who want to serve, but for whatever reason don't want to join the US Armed Forces.

Have you considered the Texas State Guard (TXSG)? Before you start throwing out negative comments about the TXSG and it not being the "real" military, I understand this is not exactly the same as the US Armed Forces; the commitment is not the same, the training is not the same, the benefits are not the same, etc. However, TXSG service is beneficial to the State of Texas, the people of Texas, and the individuals serving. The TXSG is not part of the "armed forces," but it is legitimately a military force. The TXSG is part of the Texas Military Department (https://tmd.texas.gov/state-guard) and fully recognized by both the State of Texas as well as the US Government as a bonafide State Defense Force under Title 32 of the US Code (it is not a "militia"!). The primary missions of the TXSG are to provide first response and civil defense force capabilities during Texas disasters and emergencies.

There are numerous benefits for serving in the TXSG as well (see https://tmd.texas.gov/pay-benefits). While these are not the reason to join (the reason to join is to serve), these benefits certainly help. Note, generally speaking, TXSG drill time is volunteer, however, when activated, TXSG members are paid and considered State employees.

How can this be beneficial to security personnel? Well, first, service provides a sense of personal satisfaction, and being a member of the community provides a sense of relationship. Additionally the skills learned, practiced, and provided can be directly transferable into the security profession. Last, while not exactly the same as US Armed Forces service, service in the TXSG may help bridge that gap you are looking for.

I am a member of the Texas State Guard. I am not a recruiter, but I am more than happy to help answer any questions and get you pointed in the right direction (but please at least review the links provided first). Stay safe! Respectfully, Jason McLendon

Pay & Benefits - Texas Military Department There are a number of benefits offered to the members of the Texas State Guard to encourage enlistment. These benefits are offered by several different entities including the State of Texas, various county authorites, local municipalities, and private businesses.

We are building something exciting! Demand for high-level security solutions continues to grow across corporate, government, and private sectors, and we are currently developing several initiatives focused on the future of protective services, investigations, security technology, and advanced training. Our team was recently awarded a Federal government contract, and is continuing to expand programs designed to address evolving security challenges. We are particularly interested in connecting with experienced professionals who enjoy supporting early-stage ventures.

Our current efforts include:
• Innovative approaches to protective operations, investigations, and risk management
• Advanced training and professional development programs
• Expansion of specialized security services

As we continue building these initiatives, we are beginning conversations with experienced professionals who have backgrounds in entrepreneurship, strategic development, and early-stage ventures.

If you enjoy helping build meaningful ventures and would like to learn more about what we are developing, feel free to reach out for a private conversation.
