Time, Tide and Formation Wait for No One
We are the organization of more than 150 proud gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender United States Naval Academy alumni joined by our supporters and friends. We are dedicated to doing our part to support the mission of the U. S. Naval Academy in providing excellence in the development and training of our nation's future leaders. We also strive for providing a path for "reconnection" for the many GLBT USNA alumni who have over time been disassociated from the U. S. Naval Academy and the USNA Alumni Association because of their sexuality or gender identity.
Out Of Annapolis
Although most, if not all, of our members want to see an early end to the outdated, cruel and harmful "Don't Ask Don't Tell" Policy, political activism is not within the mission of this alumni affinity group. We are here for the genuine support of each other and for those who follow in our footsteps as Officers and future Officers in the US Navy and Marine Corps.

The 2010 “Lejeune” Campaign
We need you help. As part of our first major fundraising campaign, USNA Out has the goal to raise $25,000 by December 31, 2010.
The goal of our 2010 campaign is for USNA Out to become a corporate partner of the USNA Alumni Association and Foundation's “President's Circle” at the equivalent of “Lejeune” Associate ($25,000) level. Gifts to USNA Out of any size are appreciated to assists us in reaching this goal.
Although the USNA Out consolidated gift to the Foundation would be “Unrestricted"” - we would expect the funds to go towards a program such as the International Programs Office where midshipmen greatly benefit from the exposure to other cultures.
Please read how you can best help in this important and timely effort.
