Click on the FIND A BASE NEAR YOU When you arrive at the State List, then
click on Currently, only the new Columbus Base is shown but as our activity increases there will be more. All it takes are a few minutes to post the information and only a few minutes for others to access and see what is being done regarding the formation of new USSVI Bases. While there it is suggested that you closely review the guidance as to who can post BASE FORMATION INFORMATION - including the CRITERIA for what constitutes a valid reason to post - what is to be posted and how long it will remain on the site. Background: Bill Anderson, Commander of USSVI's newest base, Columbus Base, asked during the base's formation stage, "Why not put a notice on the National USSVI Home Page linking to any planned, current or recent Base formations. Otherwise, we might lose someone going to the Base list and cannot find one near him. When in-fact, one could be forming that might meet his needs in own his home town?" Such a valid observation made by a new member of a new Base, clearly shows the wisdom of the old adage, "All of us is smarter than just one of us. Together we are a team... alone, we remain alone!"
