Associate Membership
You DON’T have to be a Marine to become a member of the Marine Corps League. Our Associate Members are made up of veterans from other military branches and citizens who want to share in the camaraderie and support our veterans. Upon acceptance, Associate Members pay the same membership fee as regular members, including initiation fees.
Once a member, they will receive a membership pin and membership card from National Headquarters. While Associate Members may NOT become elected officers (i.e., Commandant, Sr. Vice Commandant, Jr. Vice Commandant, or Judge Advocate). They can however serve as Appointed Officers (i.e., Adjutant, Paymaster, Chaplain, Aide-De-Camp, etc.) should they so choose.
