🚨**PLEASE READ BELOW AS MEMBERSHIP TIERS HAVE CHANGED**🚨

Membership in the Marine Corps Aircraft Firefighting and Rescue Association (MCAFFRA) is now open to everyone! As approved at the 2026 business meeting, new membership tiers have been created to allow family, friends, and other supporters to be a part of MCAFFRA.

Please select your tier based on the following criteria;

Regular Membership is open to those Marines that have completed the formal training and served in the United States Marine Corps as an Aircraft Firefighter (current MOS 7051) or Emergency Services Officer (current MOS 7002). These Marines must have served or be serving within an Aircraft Rescue & Firefighting unit as an officer or enlisted, on active duty or reserve status, be honorably discharged, and/or medically separated from such service. Qualified Marines from all eras of CFR, AFFR, ARFF, EFR, et al are welcome to apply. This includes the historical 6461, 6469, & 6402 MOS designations.

Prospective members must provide evidence of qualifying service at time of application and/or upon request by the MCAFFRA Board of Directors.

Regular Members are eligible to hold office, vote on Association business, and receive all perks of membership as may be provided (newsletter, discounts, etc.).

Regular member dues are $30 annually.

Currently serving 7051 Marines:
- Non-NCO and NCO (E-1 to E-5) - No dues are required while serving. Please click to email the MCAFFRA Treasurer for an application.
- SNCO and Officers - Dues are required at the normal rate of $30.

Associate Membership is open to the immediate family of those eligible for Regular Membership, along with other service members and veterans of the United States Armed Forces. Immediate family is defined as the parents, siblings, spouse, children, and grandchildren of Marine Firefighters regardless of the family member’s membership status. Veterans and other members of the military must have served honorably in any branch of the United States Armed Forces, in any MOS. This includes those Marines that have served with and directly supported ARFF units in their official capacity.

Prospective members must provide evidence of familial relation or other qualifying service at time of application and/or upon request by the MCAFFRA Board of Directors.

Associate Members are not eligible to hold office, nor participate in business meetings, nor vote on Association business, but may receive all other perks of membership as may be provided (newsletter, discounts, etc.).

Associate member dues are $15 annually.

Supporting Membership is open to all individuals that wish to support the mission of MCAFFRA but do not otherwise qualify for Regular or Associate Membership.

Supporting Members are NOT eligible to hold office, nor participate in business meetings, nor vote on Association business, but may receive communication about Association activities, and reduced pricing for Association events and products.

Supporting member dues are $10 annually.
If making an extra contribution when paying your dues, enter a custom amount and add a note detailing how you would like your funds applied (Scholarship Fund, Memorial Fund, and/or General Fund). As a 501(c)3 organization, your dues and donations to MCAFFRA may now be tax deductible! A letter of acknowledgement will be sent to you early next year for tax purposes.
