RE: Aren't I supposed to get a magazine?
On the AMA application is the following information:
"If a magazine is included with the membership, it begins with the first issue available for the year after a correct current application and payment are received; it expires with the issue printed in December (which is dated February of the fllowing year)."
In a practicle sense, it was not possible you would have recieved an issue in December. MA is recieved about the middle of the month by most of us. It is likely you will recieve your first copy before the 20th of this month, assuming that you are not a youth member who selected not to include the magazine with your membership.
