Navy Mutual Aid Association (NMAA) is a nonprofit, federally tax-exempt,〔 mutual-benefit veteran service organization that was established in 1879 by sea service officers〔〔 for the purpose of providing life insurance and annuities for members of the United States Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Public Health Service (PHS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and their families. As of November 2011, Navy Mutual Aid Association had over 112,000 military members and families insured. ==History== The Navy Mutual Aid Association was established on July 28, 1879, during a meeting of U.S. Navy officers at the Navy Department in Washington, D.C. In recent years, Navy Mutual has been headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. Until 1920 only those officers of the Navy and Marine Corps on the active list were eligible for membership. Temporary and reserve officers, both active and inactive, under forty-five years of age, became eligible in 1920. Membership was extended to officers of the U.S. Coast Guard in 1925. Female officers of the United States Navy became eligible in 1947. Additional eligibility included commissioned officers of the U.S. Public Health Service (1963) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (1972), enlisted personnel of the Navy (1980), U.S. Marine Corps and United States Coast Guard (1980), and retired personnel of the sea services (1993). In 1942 and 1950, membership was closed due to the entrance of the United States into World War II and the Korean War, respectively. Membership was re-opened shortly after both wars ended. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Navy Mutual Aid Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
