(choose the best answer for you) The current price is reasonable Any amount is reasonable if you get enough benefits for it A sliding scale pricing depending on your rank $8.20 (same as the 82d Airborne Association), if we had a discounted price for certain events like attendance at CAA roundtables and annual meetings $5.50 (less than a Starbucks Grande Latte) for access to professional resources but paid extra for events such as the roundtables and annual meetings $31.12 (same as the Special Forces Association), because we can’t pay anything less than our SF brethren Question Title * 9.
