Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
Q- I would like to support a military organization and help the AMEA but I'm not a member. Is there a way that I can make a donation?
A- YES, members and non-members may support the AMEA. There's a DONATE button located on the left side of the website just below the SEARCH feature. You may donate ANY amount using a credit/debit card or your pay pal account. Your assistance is GREATLY appreciated.
Q- I paid my AMEA dues but my username and password for the members-only login does not work.
A- The main reason for failed logins is either forgetting to include the DOT between the first and last name or including a space in the username or password. Use the forgotten password feature, on login page, to recover your username and password, then use copy and paste to CAREFULLY copy the retrieved username and password. Make sure you only copy the username and password and do not include any space before or after the username or password. If you don't know how to copy and paste, watch the video at the bottom of this page. You will also recieve an error if your dues have not been paid.
Q - How do I join the AMEA or pay my renewal dues?
A - Click on the "Join/Renew AMEA" button on the left side of the amea.us webpage. Follow the instructions and make sure you enter your e-mail address correctly. NOTE: You do NOT need a pay pal account to join or renew when you pay your dues. There are two (2) choices - PayPal Checkout OR Check Out. Under the words 'Check Out' it says, 'Pay without a PayPal account'. This means that you are going to pay using your credit card.
Q - What is a browser?
A - A browser or "web browser" is the program on your computer that you use to display a website. The address of the website is also known as a URL or Uniform Resource Locator. If you're using a Mac, you're likely using Safari as your browser and if you're using a PC, you're probably using Internet Explorer or IE. Other popular browsers are Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari, all are FREE to download. Not all browser display (render) the same webpage in the same way. A website may look better or load FASTER in a different browser. I've seen newsletter take forever to display and display poorly in Firefox but load very fast and display perfectly in Chrome. If you are having an issue logging into the members-only website, try using a different browser.
Q - How do I clear my browser cache & what the heck is a cache anyway?
A - A cache is a file used to store data that is used to speed up the process of retrieving data such as text, photographs, images, etc. Even your username and password could be saved to cache. There are several types of caches, including webpage caches, hardware caches, software caches and memory caches. Caches are used to speed up a process so that data does not have to be recomputed or fetched from its original location and, therefore, saves time. The greater the requests that can be served from the cache, the quicker system performance becomes. This is the reason that the first time you visit a website, you may notice that webpage loads slowly. However, on subsequent visits the website loads immediately. That's because the pages and pictures on that website was saved to your browser cache during the first visit. However, there are times when the cache may become damaged and need to be cleared. The method used to clear your cache depends on the type of browser you're using and even the version of that browser.

Press the Ctrl and C letter on your keyboard. After you copy the text, you may paste it using the same methods to copy except you will select "paste". The only other difference is when using the keyboard "shortcut", press the Ctrl and V letter to paste. Think "V" for VELCRO!! The short video below illustrates how to copy and paste.
