When considering membership in a motorcycle club, like the US Military Vets MC, it is
important that you have a basic understanding of the philosophy and traditions of a
motorcycle club (MC). You should have basic knowledge pertaining to how it is organized
and what is to be expected as an accepted member in one.

There are many types of motorcycle organizations such as MC's, MA's, and RC's. Having
the understanding and knowledge related to the differences between the clubs, can lead
you to the group that's right for you. The motorcycling community is subdivided into what
are known as "sub-cultures" that if entered into recklessly, or with the wrong intentions,
it can prove to be detrimental to all.

Motorcycle clubs(MC's) are the pinnacle of the motorcycle community. They command
respect for a number of reasons:

Members of an MC are chosen by the organization. Many may be invited to take a look,
only a few will be ask to join.  Members of traditional MC's must demonstrate a level of
personal commitment and self discipline uncommon in todays society.

Recognizing that an entire club can be stigmatized by the inappropriate acts of a single
person, new prospective members generally go through phases;

  1. hang around
  2. prospect
  3. probate
  4. full patch holder

During these phases, you learn the protocols, and expectations of both the club and the
M/C community. Loyalty and commitment to the club must be demonstrated before the
probate can be awarded full colors and be considered a member of the brotherhood.

The USMVMC is a true three piece patch MC and is recognized and respected by other
MC's both locally and nationally. We are a club of bikers, a band of brothers, and an
association of veterans.
