    44_BL_033021 Motion for National Administrative Procedures Change 6 February 2021 Submitted by: S. C. O’Hara Commandant, John A. Lejeune Det. 332 References: 2019 National Bylaws as amended through this date. 2019 National Bylaws Chapter 5 Section 515. Categories of Membership Background for change The National Bylaws and Administrative Procedures currently allow for Regular Membership for FMF Corpsmen and Navy Chaplains who meet the service criteria for Regular Membership contained in Bylaws Paragraph 515 a. (2) or (3), and for Associate Membership for those who do not meet these qualifications. While the intent of this is plain, to welcome into our membership those non-Marine personnel who serve alongside us with such dedication, the language used omits some non-Marine personnel who do meet that intent. Objective of change Remove the restrictions of the original language describing qualified Navy personnel. For example, Medical Officers are not “Corpsmen” and do not strictly fall under the provision of Paragraph 515 a. (2); Religious Program Specialists are not “Chaplains” and so do not fall under the provision of Paragraph 515 a. (3). There are additional Navy and other service personnel which serve in Marine units (for example, Navy Master Divers) who qualify for their Service’s FMF Warfare Qualification or equivalent, yet who are blocked from Regular Membership by our current Bylaws language. Current Language: 2019 National Bylaws Chapter 5 Section 515. Categories of Membership Section 515. Categories of Membership a. Regular Membership. Only the following may be regular members of the MCL: (1) Marines who are serving or have served honorably* in the United States Marine Corps or the United States Marine Corps Reserve; (2) U.S.

[email protected] _____________________________________________________________________________________ PDD Phil Ruhmshottel rd rd Volume 16, Issue 3 53 Chief Devil Dog FIRESIDE THOUGHTS FROM THE 53 CHIEF Winter, 2009 There is nothing like the aroma of a big dog resting too close to the fire. It feels great too. Recently, I was relaxing in front of the fire while reading my department’s newsletter when I realized that since I joined the Marine Corps League in 1992 my department has grown by eight detachments and another was revived after many years of just sitting on the books. We have almost doubled the size of the department in the past 17 years. For a department as small as mine this is quite an accomplishment. Most of the new detachments and many of the older ones are very active and participate in a large number of MCL and community activities. Due Date for Spring Issue As Paul Harvey would say, “AND NOW FOR THE REST OF THE STORY”.
