How to Join
Use the Path to Honor program at NationalGuard.com to contact the Texas National Guard Recruiter in your area.
Step 1: Talk to a Recruiter
Think of an National Guard Recruiter as your guide to the Guard and the best resource to answer questions about joining. Recruiters are ready with the know-how to help navigate your future. Some questions you might want to ask your recruiter include: How long will I serve? What are my options? What kind of job training can I qualify for? Where will I serve? How can the National Guard help me get a college education?
Step 2: Take the ASVAB
The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a multiple-choice test that helps you better understand your strengths and is one of the things that helps identify which National Guard jobs (Military Occupational Specialties) are best for you.
Step 3: Report to your Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS)
The Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) is where you'll go to join the National Guard. You will get a full physical, select your MOS, and be sworn in as a Soldier in the Texas Army National Guard.
