Membership Benefits
Whether you are on active duty or a concerned citizen, your membership counts. . .
When you join the U.S. Naval Institute:
- You empower active-duty Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen by giving them exclusive access to strategic insights and perspectives that shape their understanding of key issues that challenge America's armed forces, plus the real-world, decision-making tools they use every day to carry out their missions and keep America strong, safe and free.
- You foster a stronger, more dynamic national defense by providing the means for an indispensable independent forum that stimulates and enables an open exchange of Sea Services commentary and discourse that challenges conventional wisdom and maximizes the quality of professional debate.
- You honor the men and women of our Sea Services by preserving their powerful legacy and history so that future generations may continue to value their service, dedication and sacrifice.
Other benefits you'll receive when you join
- Proceedings magazine - Since 1874, this respected monthly magazine is considered "must reading" for all Sea Service and defense industry professionals. It's informative. Frank. Lively. Never boring.
- Naval History magazine - Each issue brings you face-to-face with the remarkable individuals who have shaped our nation's naval heritage.
