I know this isn't part of your question but I have to say that that New Mexico local scares me. They state that once you join, you join for life. This means that if you decide to leave the business for, say, 10 years to do something completely different, like join the military, and then decide you want to get back into the business, you will owe them for 10 years of back dues. There is no quiting them. Blood in, blood out.
