Parachutist magazine is a standard benefit of Annual and Lifetime Membership. It is mailed through the US Postal Service in a class called Publisher’s Periodical for domestic members. The magazine comes unwrapped, protected only by its cover. With upgraded magazine delivery for domestic members, the magazine is sent first class mail and arrives in an envelope. First-class is not necessarily faster than Publisher’s Periodical, but the delivery time should be more consistent each month. The magazine should arrive in better condition. For international members, the magazine is mailed through the US Postal Service in a class called surface delivery. With upgraded magazine delivery for international members, the magazine is sent Airmail and arrives in a clear protective wrap. Airmail can be considerably faster than surface and the delivery time should be more consistent each month. The magazine should arrive in better condition.

USPA has three options for displaying your credentials:

• from your uspa.org/me profile page
• from Sig.ma
• as a mailed plastic membership card
