JOINING THE UNIT

Membership in this unit is open to anyone (Military or Civilian), within the bounds of historical accuracy. If you are under 18 years of age, you must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. If, after your first event, you wish to pursue membership, we ask for a yearly dues of $10.00 per member to defray the cost of mailings, and use of equipment. After you have filled out the membership application and your dues has been received by the unit’s treasurer, an informal meeting will be scheduled between you and the 155th company H members to insure that any outstanding issues or questions are addressed, and that you are aware of unit membership requirements and bylaws. Upon acceptance, members are required to provide their own basic equipment. We ask that this equipment be purchased by the end of the first full year of membership into the 155th PVI Co H.
