Active Duty Membership

Stay Connected.
Stay Supported.

Navy League membership connects you and your family with a community that supports the sea services and understands the demands of military life.

Through programs and councils across the United States and overseas, active-duty members can find local connections, career and transition resources, family support, member benefits and opportunities to stay engaged beyond day-to-day service.
