 The class has two separate e-mail lists that you can opt into:
- usma1989: Our main e-mail list, currently with 700+ addresses. This is used for disseminating important information to the class on a periodic basis.
- usma1989-forum: A smaller list where discussion of a variety of topics can take place.
The usma1989 list has a set of specific rules, while usma1989-forum is much more relaxed.
usma1989 Guidelines: This list is maintained by WP-ORG. WP-ORG is a non-profit organization that is not affiliated with USMA, AOG, or any government institution. There are no user fees.
