How To Join

The first step toward becoming a MAUL Officer is to attend an event and meet the officers. We want to meet you and hear about your uniform experience! This also gives you a chance to see what we are about too! You must attend at least one in-person event before becoming a MAUL Cadet. MAUL hosts uniform events at both MAL and CLAW in addition to attending other events. Upcoming events are listed on the main page of the MAUL website.

Any gay male wishing to become an officer in the Mid-Atlantic Uniform League should submit a Membership Petition (via our online form) to the Deputy Chief/Membership Officer. This email should tell us a bit about you and your interest in the club. In addition, three Active Duty MAUL officers must endorse the petition before it is sent to the Chief for approval. You'll get these endorsements while attending one of our events. You can submit your Membership Petition email via our Contact Us page.

Upon the Chief's approval, the petitioner is granted probationary membership in MAUL and holds the rank of Cadet. Cadets will complete their training under the supervision of the Deputy Chief and a Training Officer. The Cadet's primary responsibility during their training period will be to familiarize themselves with the club, attend online meetings, and in-person events. Cadets will also need to assemble and wear the MAUL Class B uniform. You must attend at least one in-person event as a Cadet before being considered for full Officer status.

When the Cadet has finished his training and completed his Class B uniform, the Deputy Chief will certify to the Chief that the requirements of membership have been met. The Chief may then appoint the Cadet to be an Active Duty or Reserve Officer of the Mid-Atlantic Uniform League.
