That was way in the past ... before the advent of internet and the popularity of identity theft.One thing to consider - I heard that until recently(?), NAUI used your SSN as your cert number. If that's true, I personally wouldn't have any qualms refusing to put down a number at some random charter/resort.
I've held NAUI cards since 2002, and been issuing them since 2004 and until recently NAUI didn't put any number on a card until you reached DM and higher ... and in that case you are issued a "member number" (mine is 41751, which has nothing to do with my SSN). As of early this year, NAUI prints a number on recreational-level cards, but it still has nothing to do with your SSN.
