WHY AIRMEN SHOULD JOIN AFSA!!!

Airmen:

• Why did you join the Air Force? -Was it for the Benefits? Steady paycheck? Education?
• Did you know AFSA is the enlisted voice on Capitol Hill fighting to keep your benefits in place and help improve our Air Force?
• During the course of a numbered Congress (which lasts two years), several thousand bills are introduced.  Among them are many of particular interest to AFSA members!
• Some benefits you would not have today if there was NO Air Force Sergeants Association include: GI Bill, Family Separation Allowance, Re-enlistment Bonuses, Temporary Lodging Expense, Base Pay increases, Hardship Duty Pay, COLA, Housing Allowances, Health Care and many more! Keep in mind, these are just a few items mentioned... AFSA fights for your Quality of Life, you've earned it!!!

Airmen with Dependents:

• AFSA encourages dependents and family members to become Auxiliary Members! Get your family involved and help them learn what we do for our country!
• Also, don't forget about your parents or relatives who served! They too can become members!!! Help AFSA build our strength with numbers so we can educate and support all Veterans.

Motivated Airmen:

• Who’s hoping to make BTZ? -AFSA is a great organization to get involved with and WILL recognize you for your hard work and dedication
• AFSA offers an Awards program to recognize the best of the best for Airmen, NCO, and members 
• We have Chapter 951 Coins ($8) and T-Shirts ($10) for Sale!
• AFSA offers a great number of Volunteer Opportunities such as: working with the VA, POW/MIA, Base Events, DoD Observances, Active Airmen's Council (AAC), FTAC, ALS, etc...
