USNA Out

Regular Membership in USNA Out is open to anyone who took the oath of office as a Midshipman at the US Naval Academy, provided you are still on active duty or received an discharge under honorable conditions from the military.*

*for those individuals who were given discharges under conditions other than honorable for reason of homosexuality, and under current policy your discharge would be classified as honorable, then you are not excluded from regular membership as an alumni member.

Although we know, through our personal experience and observation, that the “Don’t ask don’t tell” policy is very dated and is currently hurting military readiness, it is currently the law. Hence, as an active duty service member, you cannot join USNA Out and declare yourself to be a homosexual without violating the policy. However, ALL ALUMNI are welcome to join USNA out, as we have no sexuality or gender identity requirements for membership. We do have members gay and straight.

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, subscribe to RSS by clicking on teh RSS icon in your web browser. All requests for membership are verified prior to providing access to the members' areas of USNAOut.org.
