Enrollment Categories

Active Duty, drilling Reservists, retired or honorably discharged veteran of or anyone currently serving in any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces who either has performed or is performing U.S. Navy Cryptologic duty or who has an interest in U.S. Navy Cryptology.

Associate

An official or retiree of a U.S. or second party allied government or U.S. contractor, to include second party allied military services, who has an interest in U.S. Navy Cryptology. The applicant shall state details of this interest.

Spouse

Spouses of living Members and Associates shall, at the applicant’s option, be enrolled together. Spouses are not continued on the roll after the member's death except as provided in the “Surviving Spouse” or “partnership of two veterans” descriptions below. However, any spouse of a deceased member is eligible to be enrolled as a spouse upon payment of the requisite dues.

Surviving Spouse

In consideration of payment of 1.4x the ordinary dues, the spouse of a deceased Member or Associate is entitled to remain enrolled as a Surviving Spouse until the end of the member’s fixed term or for the life of the spouse of a Life member. (This is not applicable if both spouses opt out of postal CRYPTOLOG delivery.)

The Membership Secretary shall recognize a spousal or civil partnership between two veterans in the case of two members who request this joint designation and whose membership expiration dates agree. (Normally, these would be spouses who join at the same time.) A partnership shall not consist of more than two members. On the death of one member of this partnership of veterans, postal delivery of CRYPTOLOG can be conveyed. Thus, Individual members or Associates in such a partnership should never opt for “Surviving Spouse” dues; this is automatic. Should married Individual members or Associates or those in a recognized partnership agree to share a postal-delivered CRYPTOLOG, one member would sign up for the dues set for the selected period (1, 3, 5, or 10 years); the other should opt for online-only CRYPTOLOG receipt.

Active Duty & Drilling Reservists

Active duty military members and drilling reservists are offered one-year dues free memberships.
