I was initiated, passed, and raised in a military blue lodge in Italy. There are many military blue lodges here in Europe and many military Prince Hall Lodges. I am Navy, but from what I hear many of the army based in Europe have blue lodges too.

Wearing the S&C in Public I have a low key ring that I wear on normal days. For meetings or special gatherings I have my Great Great Grandfathers ring and a Masonic watch (the "Masonic" from Barclay, amazing watch!!). I also have several polos and baseball caps that I'll wear to casual...

Congrats, Brother!!

I was installed as the JW shortly after I was raised. We are a small military lodge and the turn over is high. It has helped focus on learning quickly though.

Just finished "Born in Blood." Lot of interesting content. I really enjoyed it and would recommend to any brother.

Thank you Brother. You just made me tear up at work.

Did you look into Temple Guard (http://www.templeguardmc.com/). I just joined. I don't know how much of a presence we have in Texas but I know we do have members there. You will have to provide proof that you are master mason for TGMC as well. Also, the TGMC only has a two piece patch instead...

My prayers go out to the victims. However, the crazy will do this if they have guns or not. Take away guns, they'll use bombs. Look at Europe.

I agree that it a family for sure, but in order to make a good man better it should also be a lifestyle.

I could've said it better. The only site I looked at before I petitioned / while working on my degrees was www.askafreemason.org. nothing was spoiled for me and I had no false information. The brothers at my lodge gave me everything I needed and never led me astray.

The Italian GL issued our charter. They are usually present and / or participate in all parts.

We do have permission from the Italian grand lodge. I am a young MM being raised just this year. How this was explained to me is that this is the tradition. Both Italian and American brothers have told me that everywhere else has, over the years, softened it up just a bit but our lodge maintains...

I am a member of a military lodge in Italy that was set up for the Active duty military members that are stationed here for up to 3 years at a time. We are under the Italian grand lodge but follow the laws of the California GL. It's complicated . . . Anyway, the way we initiate, pass, and...

In my opinion acting this way is against what masonry is. A good mason would be able to look past the fact that the candidate was cop and see him for the man that he was, not only his occupation. I realize that this would only be true in a perfect world, but still, we should all strive to be...

Yesterday was my first day as JW.

I have two, a cheap titanium one and a much nicer one passed down from my great great grandfather. I wear the Titanium one 24/7 Unless it's to a fancy event, then it's the other.

Congrats brother!

Congratulations!! I was raised not to long ago and I'll always remember that day as one of the best of my life. It's right next to the day I got married and the day I my kids were born.

Welcome Br. Keith!
