The organization is operated completely by volunteers dedicating countless hundreds of hours to ensure the reunions are planned and executed flawlessly every two years along with publishing the quarterly newsletter magazine and operating the website. The POP A SMOKE website has many important features, including a comprehensive KIA database with complete search engines and a place to leave your personnel reflections and information, along with an excellent email mailing list sorted both alphabetically and by unit making it easy to find and contact long lost friends, All members are mailed an impressive quarterly newsletter full of interesting history and information. The Visions section hold thousands of photos listed in over 100 categories to help you revisit your memories and enabling you to post your photos with your own comments. The NOTAM BOARD is an excellent communication tool for those members interested in subjects connected to MARINES, HELICOPTERS or COMBAT. These are just a few highlights of the many benefits to membership our fine organization. We encourage EVERYONE eligible for membership or associate membership to join and participate.
"FNG" JOIN-UP INFORMATIONIf you are a former Marine helicopter pilot, crewchief, gunner, corpsman, flight surgeon, chaplain, maintenance or Marine helicopter squadron support personnel who served in Combat, please fill out the following name and address information (FNG Form). We will then forward an 'FNG' Join-Up Package (or you can print your own from this page - see below). After we receive your dues (via personal check or PayPal) and your information sheet (via e-mail or snail mail), you will receive the latest issue (and occasionally some back issues) of POPASMOKE, our quarterly magazine of the Association. You will also receive miscellaneous information including plans for future reunions. If you desire to receive the latest ASSOCIATION DIRECTORY (printed in May of each year), send a note to admin@popasmoke.com stating in the Subject Line of the e-mail "Directory Request". Include your full name and current address in the message. Directories will be sent as long as the supply lasts. We do not charge for the Directory, although it costs the Association approximately $10 to print and send. Any additional contributions will be greatfully accepted by Popasmoke Admin. The Association is a non-profit war veteran's organization. All dues are tax-deductible. Proceeds go towards printing/mailing expenses, reunion planning expenses, and the purchase of pogey bait for the reunions. We're in this for the fun of it, and are looking forward to hearing from you soon. You have a choice of ANNUAL Membership or LIFER Membership. ANNUAL Memberships will increase as necessary to cover Association expenses. Once you buy a LIFER membership, you are locked in until the last two Marines drink the last sip of whiskey from the Association Tontine as a toast to all the rest of us. ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP (full membership rights but not Combat vet or relative of deceased Marine or Navy Combat vet) For those interested in our organization, but unable to join due to not having served in Combat in a Marine helicopter unit, we maintain an Associate Membership List. If you are interested in receiving our quarterly newsletter and being kept abreast of upcoming reunion activities (which you may attend as a guest of one of our members or squadrons), please fill out the "FNG" form below. In the comments section, state "I would like to be put on the Associate Member List." You will receive a Membership Packet which you can fill out. Send this in, along with a check for $35, and you will receive the above publications. If you would like to be aligned with a specific squadron, write that squadron in in the Primary Squadron block of the application.
