Types of Members in the 353

Probationary Members: defined as persons who pay dues and who wish to fall in with the unit at events and who have made formal application to the unit. These members are not eligible to earn awards, rank, and commendations though any events they attend or work they do during their probationary period will count once membership within the unit has been achieved. Persons desiring membership must fill out a probationary membership application and attend at least three events within the first year to be considered for a new or transfer membership. Membership will be determined by the Command Group. If they are unable to attend three events within the first year their probationary status may be extended for as long as necessary.

New Members: defined as persons within their first year in the unit, who pay dues and have recently joined the unit from outside of WWII reenacting and who attend at least three events per year. These members are eligible to earn awards, rank, and commendations. These members are ineligible to hold positions of command within the unit until they become full members after one year.

Transfer Members: defined as persons within their first year in the unit, who pay dues and have recently joined the unit from another WWII reenacting unit and who attend at least three events per year.

These members are ineligible to hold positions of command within the unit until they become full members after one year.
