We are now offering USPS membership on the internet. Visitors to our web site click on the “Join Us” button and can join by completing an application and paying with their credit card. These new members will have unattached status and will be placed into the Cyber Squadron (6404). This same process can be used for public events such as boat shows.
| Internet Membership Charges | Individual | Family |
| Initiation Fee | $ 25.00 | $ 25.00 |
| National Dues | $ 37.20 | $ 55.80 |
| District Assessment | $ 5.00 | $ 7.50 |
| Squadron Assessment | $ 27.80 | $ 41.70 |
| Total | $ 95.00 | $130.00 |
The district and squadron assessments will be credited to the district and squadron when the new member transfers from the Cyber Squadron to a real squadron. To aid in this process, the new member will be advised of the four closest squadrons and these squadrons will be asked to make contact and tell the new member about their squadron. The message will look like the following:
