Join USNA Out

Membership Eligibility and Categories

Regular Membership in USNA Out is open to all alumni of the Naval Academy, defined by the USNA Alumni Association as graduates and former midshipmen who did not graduate from the Academy, after the last Academy class of which they were a member has graduated, provided they are still on active duty or received a discharge under honorable conditions from the military. Exceptions will be considered on a case by case basis by the Board.

Joint Membership is offered to spouses/partners of Regular Members and surviving spouses/partners of deceased alumni.

Associate Membership is open to:

  • All Naval Academy Midshipmen
  • Former Midshipmen from classes not yet graduated
  • Current and former U.S. Naval Academy faculty/staff (civilian and military) and
  • Parents of current and former midshipmen

Associate Membership for Naval Academy faculty/staff (civilian and military) does not expire when the associate member is no longer serving in the qualifying position.

Dues

There are no annual “dues” to become and remain a member of USNA Out. We are an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff and minimal expenses for the day to day operations of the organization. All members are encouraged, however, to make an annual “membership contribution” to help support the USNA Out mission.

Privacy

We fully understand that some of our members need to control their privacy. As part of the online sign-up process, all prospective members have the choice to “opt-out” from the organizational roster. Their profile data (still required for membership verification) will only be available to the four membership administrators [Hall ’75, James ’89, Bender ’93, Shangle ’97]. Those who “opt-out” will still have full access to the website as all other members.

Just as it would be unusual for the alumni associations of other colleges and universities to allow membership for non-aumni within their organizations, there is no Associate Membership for those who otherwise do not qualify. You can, however, Join us on Facebook and subscribe to RSS by clicking on the RSS icon in your web browser. All requests for membership are verified prior to providing access to the members' areas of USNAOut.org.
