ARE YOU A MEMBER OF TIN CAN SAILORS?

As a member I can highly recommend this organization to all who served on Destroyers during anytime of your service in the Navy. TCS offers Bull Sessions, a gathering of tin can sailors renewing acquaintances and making new friends with one common bond, the Greyhounds. Once a year they have a National Reunion at different areas of the country to bring up new business, tours and once again camaraderie. Your membership card entitles you and a guest to visit Naval Historical sites free of charge. One other benefit is the TCS News Paper. This is something you will read from the first to the last page and enjoy every minute of it. Click HERE to print and application or HERE to fill one out online! Dues start at $30.00.
