If you are interested in joining we would love to talk to you.  We do have some requirements you need to be aware of.  First are the membership requirements, then the uniform/equipment requirements.

After reading, if you are interested, contact Mark Marusek.

The following are our membership requirements:

1.  The membership of the 7th shall be open to all persons 16 years of age and older, regardless of race, creed, religion, sex or disability.

2.  Membership cannot be granted to felons with a court record, persons advocating the overthrow of the United States Government, participants in anti-Semitic activities or those belonging to any communist, Nazi, or hate party group.  If a person joins the 7th and is later found to be a member of one of the above organizations their membership may be terminated without refund of any paid dues or fees.

3. Any individual wishing to join the 7th must make application for membership.  The applicant has a 12 month probationary period after submission of the application forms to acquire the necessary materials needed to reenact with the 7th.  Within the 12-month probationary period, the applicant must acquire the basic uniform, field gear, and firearm/firearms of British Airborne divisions between the years 1941-1945.
