2. Who is AFSA? Did you know that DoD does not initiate Quality of Life (QoL) and rarely addresses it? This is where the Air Force Sergeants Association (AFSA) comes in. Legislation is REQUIRED and most QoL changes begin with YOU! Who else is going to fight to maintain and improve YOUR PAY & BENEFITS? Congress? Do you know how many Congressmen have actually served in the military? Not only does AFSA represent the enlisted, we are the voice for ALL military services and families.

3. AFSA's Mission To advocate improved quality of life and economic fairness that will support the well-being of the Total Air Force (Air Force Active Duty, Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve/Retirees, all enlisted personnel and their families).  The 4 Pillars of AFSA Fraternity – represents the shared values that create the bond for our members Communication – the glue that holds AFSA together. Facebook, Instagram, websites, You Tube Legislation - Our team of professionals work 24/7 to protect the pay, benefits, and quality of life of all enlisted Airmen and their families. AFSA has proven to be a “go to” organization for Congress when key testimony is needed. TAKE ACTION yourself by utilizing Voter Voice on our HQ website. Membership – our Association would NOT exist without your membership. YOUR membership strengthens OUR voice on Capitol Hill. Congress is more inclined to listen to an Association of 100K members vs. an Association with less.
