The Texas State Guard (State Defense Force) was recently invited to hold a recruiting event at the renown Texas A&M Univserity by its Corps of Cadets. The 2nd Brigade of the Texas State Guard setup a recruiting station in one of the main halls with information pamphlets and merchandise. Troops spoke with many of the Cadets & students about the opportunities and duties of the Texas State Guard. They also discussed the financial benefits the Texas State Guard offers college students.
