Membership Information

The Air Force Sergeants Association (AFSA) is a federally chartered, non-profit organization representing the professional and personal interests of more than 150,000 active duty and retired enlisted members of the U.S. Air Force, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve. AFSA also provides family members, former enlisted personnel and other interested parties the opportunity to join and support the association as members of AFSA or the AFSA Auxiliary.

Since its founding in 1961, AFSA has led the way on both Capitol Hill and in the Pentagon and has earned the recognition and respect of Washington's leaders for its sustained role as the "Voice of the Enlisted". The AFSA mission, at the headquarters level, is to advocate improved quality-of-life and economic fairness that will support the well-being of Air Force enlisted personnel and their families.

Recruiting Information

Most professions have associations which perform such functions as dissemination of information, lobbying congress for favorable legislation, and socializing.  For instance, doctors have the American Medical Association, lawyers have the American Bar Association, and car mechanics have the Society of Automotive Engineers.

In the Air Force, there are numerous professional associations which you can join.  Among them are the Air Force Association (AFA), the Noncommissioned Officers Association (NCOA) and the Air Force Sergeants Association (AFSA).  With these and others to choose from, why should AFSA be your association of choice?

The AFA is an excellent organization, and it supports all active Air Force, Reserve Components, and retirees.  This includes both officers and enlisted.  

The AFA has helped win the fight against the off-setting of pay for retired members who took federal jobs.  That is, the retiree had to forfeit some pay because they were collecting a retirement check.  While this is a laudable achievement, it pertains only to officers because retired enlisted personnel didn't have to forfeit any pay.

The AFA, as stated above, looks out for both officers and enlisted, but the desires of these two groups are not always the same.  Single enlisted members have better dormitories high on their list of priorities, but this probably means little to single officers.

The NCOA is also an excellent organization.  It supports only enlisted members of the five military services and their Reserve Components, but again, what's high on the priority list of the Airman, may not be as important to the Soldier, Sailor, Marine, or Coastguardsman.

AFSA is the only professional organization which caters exclusively to Air Force enlisted personnel.  That is why, if you're reading this, AFSA should be your organization of choice.
The organizations mentioned here (as well as many others) do much to help members of the military services, but as far as the Air Force is concerned, only AFSA is truly...

"The voice of the enlisted."
