So a very strange thing happened today.. I was at an estate sale in suburbia NY and a hispanic woman comes in with her two daughters... one , about 9 years old is in full NATIONAL GUARD UNIFORM. Intrigued I began a conversation to find out that Yes, she actually is in the National Guard. The mother paid $500 for the uniform and pays $70 a month for her to go to "training" in the Bronx every Saturday. Someone else there asked her if she will ever be trained to use weapons and she said yes, when she is a teenager . Has anyone ever heard of a child that age being in the National Guard ????
