    It seems safer to have the military more spread out across multiple states than to put all our eggs in one basket in the event of an attack on the U.S.. Please support the current National Guard system.

    I pay for those helicopters with my taxes and I feel safe when I see them flying over my house every week. I demand that they stay with the Texas National Guard in Montgomery County.

    If I can convey one thing to everyone, to the bean counters it?s all about numbers. The leaders that make decisions are often mis-informed on reports and data they receive. Its our job IMO to make sure they have all the data to form an objective decisions on facts that are not biased one way or another. Pro?s and Cons from both views with supporting factual data. The reports that I have read IMO are not doing this, it is one sided with agenda's that are not in the tax-payers best interest. The leaders are not being informed with all the proper data to support decision being made at this time. I have tried to stay neutral due to the nature of the position I am currently in for my profession. Many view my opinions as biased for the NG because I was in the NG for 25 years. I have been to almost every Apache unit across the globe. Every NG unit meets the standard that our AD counterpart?s performs with less funding. In many instance we actually do more with joint service training and missions with the Special Operations Units, Air Force, Marines and Navy. I find myself scratching my head how in the beginning it was being sold as it would save money, they had to switch tactics and sale it as state mission now and that NG unit take longer to stand up and deploy. NG unit take longer because Big Army made it that way not the NG. NG Apache units could deploy just as easily as AD units from Home Station. Big Army made the requirement not the NG.

    My brother in law is in the Army reserves and also works at Ellington Field in Houston TX. Removing Apache helicopters will cause him to lose his job and be reassigned in the reserve.
