Thank you for your kind heart and sensitive mind.  I have a son in Afghanistan, but he has plenty of correspondence.  I am going to list several sites below for soldiers with whom you might wish to correspond.\nThanks again.

I'm not concerned about immigrants, but there have been several cases of paid off Mexican army units with machine gun mounted trucks escorting shipments fully into US territory & even exchanging fire with local law enforcement - mex govt says stolen uniforms. Corrupt mexican national & local police have long done similar. Then there's the smugglers themselves. \n\nAnyway, from what I understand the troops will not be patrolling the border. They'll be engineer units building access roads & survellince posts, and intel operating air & ground based detection equipment from the military inventory. The Border Patrol will still be the ones doing all the apprehending. \n\nThat said, the national guard DOES have law enforcement authority while under the Gov's command (just like after hurricanes), and it is the PRIMARY mission of the national guard to defend the boarders & internal security of the United States. Backing up federal troops overseas comes second, followed by disaster response.

Hello!  you can e-mail me at bangmykok@yahoo.com.  I am currently stationed in Bangkok, Thailand with an agency which I can't name.  However, I do come back to the US often.

Both previous posters are right, but there is a BIG depends. Here is the scoop - earlier this year, the Army (including all the reserves and guard) COMBINED the MOS of the field medics and hospital techs into one. So everyone holding the 68W MOS can now serve at a hospital, CASH (we don't have MASH's anymore), BN Aid station or with a line unit. Those fortunate few who have previous medical training, higher education or had the knowledge and forsight to inquire before enlisting - are sent to what is called the M6 school after AIT (I would be absolutely SHOCKED if any state national guard is willing to pay to send any of their soldiers to this school - very very very doubtful), which trains 68W over an extended period of time (nearly a year) in a hospital setting to become licensed practical nurses (LPN's). Those 68W's who don't have it guaranteed in their enlistment contracts....Ruck Up!!  You're heading out to the Aid Station or the unit. \n\nNow...with all that said...if he is going to be an eye doctor (an actual board certified optometrist)...why on earth enlist? Once he is certified, the Army/Guard will take him on a direct commission as a Captain and put him right to work in a hospital/clinic taking care of troops' eyes!!! If he enlists in the Guard as a medic he has an uphill battle to get his contract invalidated so that he can transfer and apply for a commission later. Not too mention he may end up being deployed which will delay his schooling while he does his time in the sandbox. Best bet here - tell him to get his schooling done and then take his Captains bars doing what he is trained to do. The enlisting thing in this particular case doesn't seem to fit.

Save The Children and Doctors Without Borders do very important work with children in need.  Both have a very good record of using contributions appropriately.  Give them a Google!\nIf you want to volunteer, contact your area's March of Dimes for information.

That guy is a nut case, in my opinion, if he figues out how to make nucular weapons, we all better watch out. Course he is friends with our Gov of New Mexico! The Gov flys over there and tries to talk him out of deveploping the stuff. He's probably just trying to use the power to get stuff from the US! :)

Sounds great! I wish you luck. I was thinking on similar lines myself. You think these contractors would take in former non-US army personnel? Send me details if you come across any please.

Yep, I just did it. Have him talk to his unit's readiness NCO and get the packet started. Talk to an active-duty recruiter. Be warned though, the National Guard doesn't have to let him go, though they probably will. Also, it takes a while; it took 2 months of almost daily phone calls for me to get my paperwork finished.
