Why join forever firstie club?
FOR FOUR YEARS, THE NAVAL ACADEMY SURROUNDED US WITH CLASSMATES WHO CHALLENGED US TO BECOME BETTER LEADERS, TEAMMATES, AND FRIENDS.
THEN WE GRADUATED.
SOME OF US REMAINED IN UNIFORM. OTHERS ENTERED BUSINESS, MEDICINE, EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, OR RETIREMENT. LIFE TOOK US IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS BUT ONE THING NEVER CHANGED.
WE'RE ALL NAVAL ACADEMY GRADS.
FOREVER FIRSTIE CLUB EXISTS TO ENSURE THE RELATIONSHIPS, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND LIFELONG PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE THAT BEGAN IN ANNAPOLIS NEVER HAVE TO END.
INSIDE YOU'LL FIND SPACES DEDICATED TO:
⚓ LEADERSHIP & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
💼 CAREERS & NETWORKING
🏋 FITNESS & ACCOUNTABILITY
📚 LIFELONG LEARNING
🤝 MENTORSHIP
📍 REGIONAL MEETUPS
🎯 ENTREPRENEURSHIP & BUSINESS
AS THE COMMUNITY GROWS, MEMBERS WILL SHAPE NEW GROUPS, EVENTS, AND PROGRAMS AROUND THE INTERESTS THEY CARE ABOUT MOST.
WHY I STARTED FOREVER FIRSTIE CLUB
I'M BRIAN DUNN, A MEMBER OF THE CLASS OF 2008.
AFTER SERVING AS A SUBMARINER, I CREATED FOREVER FIRSTIE APPAREL AS A CREATIVE OUTLET AND A WAY TO STAY CONNECTED TO THE NAVAL ACADEMY AND GRADUATES WHO SHAPED MY LIFE AND CAREER.
I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY THE RECEPTION OF THE BRAND AND THE COMMUNITY I SAW ACTIVE BUT DETACHED LIVING AROUND THE WORLD. THAT IDEA INSPIRED A MUCH BIGGER VISION.
I REALIZED THE ACADEMY DOESN'T STOP SHAPING US AT GRADUATION. THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES, WE FACE CAREER CHANGES, FAMILY CHALLENGES, LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, BUSINESS DECISIONS, HEALTH GOALS AND RETIREMENT PLANNING.
WHY SHOULDN'T WE HAVE A COMMUNITY OF GRADUATES TO NAVIGATE THAT JOURNEY TOGETHER?
THAT'S WHY FOREVER FIRSTIE CLUB EXISTS.
WHY NOT JUST USE FACEBOOK?
FACEBOOK IS GREAT FOR RECONNECTING. FOREVER FIRSTIE CLUB IS ABOUT GROWING TOGETHER.
MEMBERS JOIN BECAUSE THEY'RE INVESTED IN BECOMING BETTER LEADERS, PARENTS, PROFESSIONALS, MENTORS, ATHLETES AND CITIZENS - NOT BECAUSE AN ALGORITHM DECIDED TO SHOW THEM A POST.
THERE ARE NO DISTRACTIONS.
NO ENDLESS SCROLLING.
NO COMPETING PRIORITIES.
JUST NAVAL ACADEMY GRADUATES HELPING EACH OTHER TO PUSH FURTHER TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR GOALS.
FOREVER FIRSTIE CLUB ISN'T JUST ANOTHER ONLINE GROUP, IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS OF GRADUATES WILL SEE AS AN ESSENTIAL EXTENSION OF THE NAVAL ACADEMY EXPERIENCE.
AS A FOUNDING MEMBER, YOU'LL HELP SHAPE THE COMMUNITY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
THE ACADEMY GAVE US FOUR UNFORGETTABLE YEARS. TOGETHER, LET'S BUILD A COMMUNITY THAT LASTS A LIFETIME.
ONCE WE REACH 100 GRADS ON THE WAITLIST WE'LL FOLLOW UP WITH NEXT STEPS TO SECURE YOUR SPOT. THE FIRST 500 MEMBERS WILL RECEIVE DISCOUNTED MEMBERSHIP AND A PLANKOWNER BADGE FOR THE LIFE OF THEIR MEMBERSHIP.
