Marine Corps League Dues

---

The Marine Corps League (MCL) is a Marine Corps veterans oriented organization. Membership in the Marine Corps League is comprised of Regular Members and Associate Members.  To be eligible for Regular member in the MCL a person must meet one of the following criteria: 

Person who is serving, or has served honorably in the United States Marine Corps “on active duty”, for not less than ninety (90) days, and persons who are serving, or have served in the United States Marine Corps reserve, and have earned no less than ninety (90) reserve retirement credit points; 

United States Navy personnel who have trained and served with United States Marine Fleet Marine Forces (FMF) units in excess of ninety (90) days and have earned the Marine Corps device (clasp) worn on the service ribbon, and those who earn the FMF Warfare Device Insignia authorized for enlisted and officers who have served with Marines. 

Those individuals who are not qualified to join as regular members of the Marine Corps League may be accepted as Associate Members. Associate members are often comprised of family members, friends and those individuals that are interested in participating with the Detachment.

• Please complete the membership application form.
• Please bring $40 for the membership fee (Annual membership renewal is $40).
• Bring a copy of your DD-214; we will not retain it but will use it to verify your service and eligibility.

All three of these requirements must be met before an individual can become a member of the Marine Corps League. We encourage you to attend a meeting as a guest before making a decision about joining.

A Voice in Washington

The League makes sure your interests are well represented in the right places. This included the Congress, the White House, the Department of Defense, the VA and the Department of Labor. Retention of your earned benefits, adequate funding of the Corps, and help for Marine families are just a few of the areas where the Marine Corps League serves you.

Detachment Activities

As a member you will be eligible to join a detachment in your community. Detachments function as the local expression of the League and set their own programs.

National Convention

Held each year, the national convention includes a full program of prominent speakers, working sessions, group tours and recreation- with plenty of time out for renewing old friendships.

Programs and Benefits from National Headquarters:

Every year the Marine Corps League distributes thousands of dollars in scholarship aid to deserving students. Children of the Marines receive preference.
