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.

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.)
