How To Become a Member of the USAPA:

     At this time, there is no cost for general membership in the USAPA for any former or current Pathfinder. Those seeking to apply for general membership must however qualify by having served as a US Airborne Pathfinder, or having attended the US Army Pathfinder training school. 

     If you feel you qualify and would like to become a member, please submit the required information noted below such as, name, address, unit(s) of service, etc. Those seeking membership need to supply some form of proof as to their eligibility to be a general member. The USAPA carefully screens those applying so as to create a membership listing of real Pathfinders, not wannabes or those having never served.  

     Upon receipt of your supporting documents, your name and information will be added to the membership ranks of this Association. 

     In addition, if you would like an official Certificate of Membership to formally display your association with this elite group of soldiers, please enclose $10.00. This money will be applied to the cost of your certificate, postage, as well as to help fund this website and our Association's research efforts. 

     Payment may be made by personal check or money order to "US Airborne Pathfinder's Association" and sent along with your supporting document(s) to:
