What are your thoughts on Free Masons in the military?

SFC Brandon Brummett, I think it’s great to be a member of the Freemasons while serving in the military. I did during my military service and met several brothers who had an influence on my military career. Especially, those attributes such as, charter and leadership.

have been in the Military since General George Washington, who was a Mason.

I happen to be a Free Mason (since 1997) and as long as you conduct yourself accordingly, i.e. adhere to military standards, their should not be an issue. It's no different than being in a Fraternity or Sorority while in the military.

Why is it an issue?

One positive note: there’s no surgery involved!!!

As long as they are free and don't cost anything, they are good with me.

Every club, fraternity, organization has some bad apples. When you can, throw them out.

I think 12Ws should be paid.

Get it...12W Capentry MASONRY Spec. working for FREE.

Freemasonry is private and should not bleed over into a person career or service...but of course it does but one should try to keep the two seperate.

I found out my dad (Army Radioman in Iceland during WW2, and many other family member, some of which were in the Revolutionary War.

As a younger master mason, i believe there are no issues with us being in the military. We didnt cause problems at my first command nor is there a problem with us at the academy. We are just like everyone else.

Have there been some bad instances with masons?
