The
Association's newsletter, MMA
Times,
is published to keep the membership informed of significant USAMU
and Association eventspast, present, and future.
The first MMA
Times was published in August 1994. It is currently published four
times a year. Normally, each issue has six pages, but can vary
between four and eight pages. Inserts from other sources are
sometimes included.
Articles come
from the membership and the USAMU. The MMA President and the USAMU
Commander write columns for most issues. Our membership also
contribute stories. Member stories are a valued additions that help
add a personal touch to the newsletter. Additionally, Executive Board
members report on significant Association events. USAMU PAO articles
and articles from other publications may also be included. Obituaries
are published in the Taps,
Present Arms
column when the Association learns about the passing of a member of
the marksmanship community.
All members
are encouraged to send articles or information for publication
directly to the Times Editor or to any Executive Board member. Send
them by U.S. Postal Service or send them by E-mail, but please share
your stories with the membership. For example, stories of past unit
events, shooters, coaches, gunsmiths, matches, shooting trips, war
stories, what you are doing now, or anything you believe would be of
interest to the Association's membership are welcome. If an event was
humorous or significant then, it surely will bring back memories to
many of our members now. Write your recollections on a scratch pad or
put them on a computer disk, but just get your stories to us. And
don't worry about your writing style, we want to hear it in your own words!
Copies of past
issues of the MMA Times are on file in the Association's office at
the USAMU Headquarters building. To keep the printing cost down, we
only print enough copies for current members plus a few copies to
issue to new members joining the next quarter. Therefore, back issues
of the MMA Times, particularly the earlier issues, are limited or no
longer available for replacement.
From
time-to-time we will feature articles from the MMA Times at this
