Prowler Growler Association

ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION


The Prowler-Growler Association was established in 2013 (as the Prowler Association) as a fully tax-exempt fraternal organization within the meaning of IRS code 501(c)(19). In 2024, the Association officially changed its name to the Prowler-Growler Association to recognize the continued Electronic Attack accomplishments demonstrated by the EA-18G Growler and the men & women who fly, maintain and support it; as well as to maintain an unbroken line of Electronic Attack professionals, many of whom served in both aircraft. Members of the Association come from three military services, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force. Association Members include Aircrew and Maintenance Officers, Enlisted Organizational/Intermediate Maintainers and Administrative Personnel as well as Government and Contractor Civilians plus their spouses who have supported the EA-6B Prowler & EA-18G Growler throughout their distinguished histories. The Prowler-Growler Association will maintain a Website to archive the Prowler & Growler historical legacies as well as promulgate current information on upcoming activities and individual accomplishments. We, who are already members, encourage you to join us to keep the keep the EA-6B Prowler and EA-18G Growler legacies documented for history and to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow Prowlers & Growlers.

 

MISSION

The mission of The Prowler-Growler Association is to preserve and promote the legacy, history, and accomplishments of the EA-6B Prowler and EA-18G Growler of having provided the Department of Defense continuous Electronic Attack service since 1972. We will honor those who flew, maintained, built, or supported the Prowler & Growler, and their families. We will inform the public of the Prowler's & Growler's contributions to America's military successes. We will sponsor patriotic events, hold symposiums and fraternal gatherings, assist historic memorials to naval aviation, and in general foster the memory of the Prowler & Growler and do well for our members. We will remember and honor deceased Prowlers & Growlers and assist their families. Most importantly, we will foster continued comradeship for members via our professional fraternity.
