00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:17.399
I want to move over a little bit to to
5
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:22.399
pay and benefits. So some states, like the New York
6
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:27.920
Guard and other states are considering there's some legislation on
7
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:33.280
their in their capital that like a New York Guard
8
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.600
would get paid for weekend drills and annual training. And
9
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:39.640
we start we're starting to see this kind of like
10
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.600
migrate throughout the country. Many state legislators are considering this.
11
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.799
Do you are you familiar with any legislation in Texas
12
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.799
that is kind of going through through Capitol Hill there?
13
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.679
Regarding that, well, actually I want to stay clear of
14
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.719
any discussion of any legislative efforts, but I do want
15
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:04.159
to us if about pay. Now, we do try to
16
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:08.040
pay for annual training. We may not be able to
17
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:12.079
cover the whole you know, four days that we go,
18
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.480
but if we can get at least a couple of
19
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.959
days pay, that would be wonderful. And we true on
20
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.599
some of our professionalized training. We do have SAD pay obviously,
21
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:28.319
and the concept is if we can get people paid
22
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.799
on drills. That is not something that we would be
23
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:38.400
opposed to the amount of dedication people people drive three
24
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.439
four hours, sometimes seven eight hours from El Paso to
25
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.719
Austin on their own dime just to serve. And so
26
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.640
right now we do not you know, your average UTA,
27
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.799
we do not pay for but if there's a way
28
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.959
we can compensate, help cover some ass or lodging, absolutely.
29
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.280
If such a thing were being done, like let's say
30
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.080
we'll use another state guard. If a state guard does
31
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:13.719
incorporate their soldiers being paid for weekend drills and annual training.
32
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.080
Do you see any cons to that, to that new
33
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.199
type of policy, because state defense forces, for I would
34
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.599
say probably a century now, we're always a volunteer force
35
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:25.599
only paid for state active duty.
36
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:31.280
Well so we kind of I think you said the
37
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:37.759
biggest word of all this is a volunteer organization, and
38
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:43.439
you know, you do not want to lose that mentality
39
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:50.280
because these are people that are passionate and dedicated and
40
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.199
my personal and I'm not about sharing feelings, but you know,
41
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:59.599
if you want me to do a National Guard job,
42
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:04.280
or airguard or a marine or army, then that's the
43
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.840
service you should go into if you're here the certain
44
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.319
state of Texas and as at the need of the
45
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.280
governor and the tag by all means, come on, let's
46
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.680
go make it happen. So you've got to be very
47
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:23.000
careful on how we present people being paid and what
48
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:24.719
are going to be those expectations.
