Dear Community,

The MacDill Chapter is involved in the discussions to merge POVA and the PRA at the national level. The MacDill Chapter will continue to operate as an independent chapter under the current bylaws until 1 January 2027 and then as a chapter of the new organization.

All lifetime memberships of either organization will continue to be honored under the new organization. I encourage you to join the MacDill Chapter today and to continue to support the goals of the PSYOP Regimental Association.

Doug J.
Chapter Secretary

If you have spent your career in Airborne, Air Assault or SOF units, consider nominating yourself or your colleagues for the National Infantry Association- Order of St. Michael. This award has been around for years but I have never heard of anyone in PSYOP earning one. Congratulations to Russ Hampsey, Mike Layrisson and Doug Jordan for earning it at the Guardian level. They will receive their awards this Thursday at Seascapes on MacDill AFB Fl at 1200.

There are other nominees currently in. If you are interested in being nominated email the chapter for information.
