Conditions of Membership

As WWI is not quite like other time periods in reenacting, we need to point out some conditions. All members participating in combat must be men who will be at least 18 years old by the time of their first combat event this is NOT negotiable. It's not like the old days. The GWA owns its own site and safety is even MORE important than ever. We're sorry, but young people are just NOT permitted. Use the time to build a good kit. Maybe come to a living hostory with us but, you cannot go in the trenches at an event until you're 18.

There is no maximum age limit or specific physical requirements, except that a member must be in sufficient physical shape to scramble out of trenches, crawl under barbed wire and jump into shell craters, and they must be able to reasonably portray a soldier of the period. If you break your leag by tripping into a shell hole, if you weigh too much, how will we get you out? This is STRENUOUS stuff we do.

Attitude

By this we mean that we don't want drama. We've had it before. IF you only want to wear rank or be an officer, then we arent really for you. If you feel that you don't need to follow our guidelines, maybe we're not for you. IF you want to talk modern politics constantly or proselytize, then we probably aren't right for you. IF this is your excuse to drink a lot... again...

Our memebers work to have a good Kameradschaft and at the same time, be accurate; yet, we remember that we're here to have fun. Drama is unwanted.

Uniforms and Equipment

Members must purchase their personal equipment and uniforms at their own expense. This can cost between $1000 to $1500 on up; however... saying this, J.R. 23 tries to assist new recruits in obtaining their kit... often by helping them to make many pieces of their uniform and equipment themselves. It CAN be cheaper, but you have to look and make yourself.

Dues

Yearly dues are $25 per year for J.R. 23. Dues for the Great War Association are another $25. per year with the battle fee per event is $25. – it's worth it! The GWA dues help pay for taxes, modifications and upkeep of the site and occasional improvements. On our side, we sometimes have a horse drawn wagon that goes back and forth behind the lins and to the parking lot, etc.
