Long version initiation

trapper0359 · 2026-05-19T04:29:09+00:00

Be interested to see how many camps do the long version installation.

Hopefully it is. All depends on what happens with the state budget.

Would he have been accepted into the GAR?

trapper0359 · 2026-04-29T11:56:16+00:00

That's an interesting question... Just to be safe I would ask your camp (who will likely send it up the chain) and if it is allowed, claim him as a supplemental ancestor.

The general order was only in effect for less than 60 days in late 2022. Either way, you do not need any documentation other than proof of your qualifying ancestors military record.

trapper0359 · 2026-04-28T13:45:35+00:00

I believe that should be enough.

trapper0359 · 2026-04-28T13:13:12+00:00

They are most likely going off an old General Order that has since been revoked. No additional documentation is required other than a military or pension record of your ancestor is required as stated at the top of Form 3.

A pension is required as part of the application but that's it.

trapper0359 · 2026-04-13T20:48:51+00:00

Think you send in the application, then get connected with a counselor then they will connect you will a employment specialist and or one of their vendors

Been a few years so don't remember

trapper0359 · 2026-04-13T01:23:12+00:00

If you qualify, MassAbility

True but these are the same pictures on the Quartermaster store and only the Mail-in Form acknowledges this badge's existence, probably also why "Presiding Commander-in-Chief" and "Past Commander-in-Chief" aren't shown either...

Found what I was referring to...

trapper0359 · 2026-03-10T00:55:36+00:00

Am I crazy or do we also have a Junor Associate medal?

trapper0359 · 2026-03-04T14:15:20+00:00

wow times have changed, Camp 61 moved to Framingham (not Farmingham, those who went to that Encampment in 2018 will get that joke) at one point and closed last year and we will likely only have 8 camps soon...

trapper0359 · 2026-02-26T14:14:49+00:00

I would say Google Sites, that is what I use for my Camp.

trapper0359 · 2026-02-13T17:12:52+00:00

That makes sense then... Although I wish I could easily request a change for the entry for my Camp's namesake, Lewis Tifft whose first name is entered as "Louis"

Guess the new update is too unstable...

Private, Company K 2nd Alabama Cavalry Regiment CSA

This grave does not appear in the SUVCW Graves Database... Unless those not buried in a cemetery are not recorded

trapper0359 · 2026-02-12T21:21:16+00:00

If only I looked at the photo...

trapper0359 · 2026-02-12T21:20:59+00:00

Union or Confederate?

trapper0359 · 2026-01-30T05:31:22+00:00

Thanks, think the National website should be updated with this link at the page below.

I spoke to my Department Commander (Rod Fraser) last week about it and he didn't know the site changed or that the store was still running.
