A Tradition Dating Back to WWII

The Ancient and Honorable Order of Turtles or International Association of Turtles is a fraternity of fun-loving people from all over the world.

It all started as a way for WWII Air Corps pilots to build a community and blow off some stress from the war.

You will be in good company as a Turtle. Join Astronauts, Presidents, Comedians, Athletes, and members from all branches of the military.

You have to answer four dirty-sounding riddles with clean answers to prove you are “pure-minded” enough to be a Turtle. You will find them on the Join page.

Once you join our humble pond, I’ll send over the complete back story, along with a fun origin story that is good for a belly laugh. Members learn the secret grip, password and have the ability to earn free drinks.

Everyone is welcome.

Turtle Philosophy

“Turtles are bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, fearless, and unafraid folk with a fighter pilot attitude. They think clean, have fun a lot, and recognize the fact that you never get anyplace in life worthwhile unless you stick your neck out.” per Captain Hugh P. McGowan, U.S. Army Air Corps/U.S. Air Force Reserve (Ret.)

I have been a turtle since 1973 and spent years wandering trying to find other turtles, only continuously feeling lost and alone. Then Turtle Club US came into my life, they adopted me, gave me back my identity and keep me in the loop to know turtle happenings. I even get riddles to solve every week. I am now a very happy turtle. Come join us.
