or rewards the Articles of the Association may provide or the National Executive Board may decide upon in any given
year, and that the current rights and benefits of membership, which are subject to change without notice, are currently posted
on, and will continue to be posted on, the Membership Page of the Association's website, in the Membership and Contributions Section. I also understand
that the Association expects every voting member to put in a substantial amount of quality time each year as a volunteer on
Association outreach and/or administrative activities.

benefits at any time by emailing the Association at USN@NavyVets.org or by telephoning the Association at (202) 736-1725.
I also understand any intentionally false statement on the Application is immediate grounds for termination
of this annual, or any subsequent membership, without refund of any annual dues paid.
