The Army and Navy Club in Washington, D.C, is steeped in military history and at the same time active and engaged in the present. On a given evening, you’ll see currently serving officers and veteran officers gathering together from around the country for camaraderie, an excellent meal, and meaningful discourse.  

“You’re among people like you, who share that common bond of service, and it’s a very special thing,” says Col. Marc Warren, USA (Ret), club president and a MOAA Life member. 

There are many reasons to consider joining the club, and one of them is that every MOAA Life member receives a significantly reduced initiation fee of $100.

• Peruse military history in every room and hallway. You will see dozens of portraits and military artifacts displayed across the club, items donated by members over the years. This includes a restored portrait of Adm. Joseph James “Jocko” Clark, the first Native American to graduate from the Naval Academy; the saber of Lt. Cmdr. Roy H. Boehm, who was instrumental in developing the Navy SEALs; and a convent table used as a barricade during a skirmish in the Philippines on the eve of the Spanish-American War.  

Military history can be found throughout The Army and Navy Club, including the recently renovated library. 

Outside the Eagle Grill is a wall of every Time magazine cover that featured one of The Army and Navy Club members. It demonstrates the significance of the club and its members over the years. But at its heart, The Army and Navy Club is and remains focused on building camaraderie across generations. Will you join the community?
