y purpose here is to acquaint newer members with the Max Beep Membership Drive ( 01 February to 30 April), and guide them on supporting the squadron, introduce NHA to your fellow squadron mates, encourage early sign-ups for Symposium, and to ensure anyone who can’t attend Symposium maintains a current membership. Let's see if another squadron can prevent HSC-21’s threepeat! Max Beep Officer Categories:

In other membership news, we have GREATLY changed the structure for NHA Lifetime Membership for our enlisted personnel! For any and all who are yearly participants in the symposium and the Aircrew Challenge, this new Enlisted Lifetime Membership is an easy way for shops to lead right into securing Max Beep and that $500 prize! Nugget Enlisted (E1-E4), Active Duty Only Lifetime Membership: $75 Enlisted, Active/Selective Reserve/Former/Retired (E1-E6) Lifetime Membership: $100 Enlisted, Active/Selective Reserve/Former/Retired (E7-E9) Lifetime Membership: $150 Age 85 or older: Free-Contact the NHA Office I need our NHA representatives and Regional presidents to help us identify active and expired NHA memberships within the squadron. Seize the opportunity to highlight the prize money incentive, especially for those who may not track their membership status until the Symposium. Your efforts could be the key to pushing our squadron over the winning threshold! Should you require assistance in compiling the active list, feel free to share your current squadron roster with us, and we'll gladly cross-check it for you. I appreciate your commitment to NHA and feedback is always welcome to make us a better organization to serve you.
