EDIT: after writing this. I was looking into joining and I learned that membership is free this year. Normally it's like $40 for a year long membership. It's the legions hundredth year so they're running this free membership campaign.

It's that special time of year when everyone pipes up with their opinions and disdain for the legion.

I just want to make a post to remind everyone that the Legion is a democratic institution and you can help to turn it into the thing it's supposed to be by joining it and voting for things that benefit the troops.

Yes, the legion currently sucks ass. Yes you might have to put up with shitty boomer Civis for a while but If we all join the legion, we will easily out number the cosplayers and the legion will once again be run by actual veterans.

We're in a position right now where we can run a chain of clubs across the country with a certain level of influence over public opinion on veterans affairs and a budget that can be used to really help the troops. If all we do is sit and gripe and complain at our computers about boomers pretending their dads valour from WWII is somehow inheritable then when those boomers die, the legion dies with them and we get nothing.

I'm gonna join the legion today. I hope you will too.

Hello friends

Got loaded on a course. Need a TAN. Before they will give me a TAN, I need to obtain a flight itinerary quote from STS. To register with STS, I need a TAN prefix. I emailed course staff and was told to "follow joining instructions".

Can anyone help me understand where I get a TAN prefix? Joining instructions only say that to get a TAN I need a quote, but to get a quote I need a TAN prefix.....no one seems to want to explain what im missing.

Any help would be appreciated.
