Post / Unit / Squadron *** If you are a DUAL member and your SAL member ID has not merged to your Legion ID automatically, it could be because one or the other has a middle initial or a suffix etc. The merge will happen, it will make it easier on me if you’d just bring to my attention! If not, it will be stumbled upon. IT WILL BE MERGED. A SAL member who has a DIFFERENT ID that starts 350 typically has been transitioned to the NEW ID because the ID they had belonged to a Legionnaire and when mySAL was merged with myLegion the Legionnaire kept the ID and the SAL received the new ID. Squadron Adjutants there is no error please refrain from correcting the new numbers back to their old numbers please.
