I don't have an answer. But I do know it takes a lot of time and money to make a "guard" organization actually military and I'm not sure the state is willing to do that.

The US mil gets 800billion for 20 aircraft carriers, 60 or so nuke subs, 200 more surface combatants, 1200 planes, 1.5 million personnel, thousands of tanks and APCs and tens of thousands of other trucks and stuff along with operations.

Florida won't be doing much because in 2023 time and training cost the most because of liability.

My husband is a retired special forces lieutenant, colonel in the army. He applied and didn’t even get a response and then come to find out what happened to the first two commanders. I’m so glad he didn’t get that position.

Tell him to enjoy retirement and go raise goats, fish, and never wear another uniform again. I'll be there soon with him. Slap some sense into him. Let the young guys deal with this, he has earned his retirement.

Lol. We r full time RVers and stupid glad they didn’t reach out!

And I hope you retire soon!!! Getting crazy out there. Our oldest is part of the 101st out of Campbell. They were sending him to Romania and then changed it to Germany🤷🏻‍♀️. Can’t figure that one out. And to see a 100 football fields of equipment they are sending is mind boggling.
