(I hope he was just having a bad day and didn't want to talk with anyone and was speaking out of hand)
That was 4 years ago and still bothers me- Last several games SAMS had a table up with flyers and such but no one at the table for me to talk to.
From the SAMS membership page on their Nat'l website:
Membership is open to honorably discharged veterans or active duty or reserve military persons who have served or are serving with any branch of the US Armed Forces. Membership is open to:
*Present or former Regular or Reserve members of the US Armed Forces.
*Individuals who have been discharged or released from duty must not have
received a less than honorable discharge.
*Cadets of any of the Armed Service Academies or college level ROTC
*Spouses, widows, or widowers of any of veterans or Service Academy/ROTC
cadets.
*Members of the British Commonwealth Armed Forces
I hope this helps.
p.s. -- I'm a former SAMS member. I had to cut back on most of my association memberships due to $$$
