  No. We have had field day attendees representing every branch of the Armed Forces: Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Members of the U.S. Merchant Marine have also come aboard to lend a hand. But you really don't even need military experience to attend. Anyone with an interest in history and restoration is welcome.
