USMA Required and All Star Levels

As a USMA member, you have two options as you progress through the different progress levels. There are baseline requirements to pass the levels, then there are All-Star Challenges for those who want to go above and beyond the basic requirements. 

Everyone must complete the basic requirements for each level. Once the basic requirements are completed, a member may move on to the next level while simultaneously completing the All-Star requirements for the previous level. 

This is a dual-tracking system that allows members to be listed in both categories.

The membership includes a state tracking system that is on the website. Additionally, if you would like a celebratory certificate or wooden plaque mailed to you, they are available at an additional cost. 

Here is an example of the basic requirements and all-star requirements.
