[edit] Capitalization

Should the title be capitalized? Isopropyl 01:40, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Size

How do the various forces compare in terms of size, funding, organisation, training etc. - Matthew238 02:34, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] District of Columbia

OK, presently (March 2008) there is no official SDF for the District of Columbia. There is an organized group of citizens attempting to form a SDF. Until it is formed officially then it should not be included in this list. To be fair, maybe we could put a link in a See also section? Any comments? Streltzer (talk) 16:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Georgia

I see that someone has posted a link to the Georgia Naval Militia. I know that some states do, but Georgia does not have a naval militia.

By law, Georgia does have a naval militia; it is just not currently organized. Similar to how the SDF can be opened and shut down at any given time.Todd Gallagher (talk) 17:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
