Welcome to Our Website

The site has been specifically designed to provide our members a source of information with a goal of keeping them current on activities and issues that directly impact the active, guard, reserve enlisted forces' "quality of life" right now and in the future. AFSA headquarters maintains the current status of legislation and members are encouraged to review the Capital Hill Update.
Our Calendar of EventsTab provides a quick reference for our schedule. Here you will find all of our executive and general membership meetings, community support programs, and activities. Come out and see what activities your chapter has on the horizon and get involved to help the military community on NAS Fort Worth as well as the civil community.
Our News Tab allows you to find our General Membership Meeting Minutes. Whether you are able to attend or not, you are just a click away from the information. It also spotlights our members recognized for their outstanding contributions to the overall success of the chapter.
The Executive Council Tab introduces you to each council member. Their personal contact information is provided, giving you a direct line to communicate with the respective officer. The executive officers are voted into office by chapter members each year. Explore the various positions and learn about the roles and responsibilities of your chapter council members.
The Membership Tab contains a wealth of statistics regarding recruiting, retention, and rejoins. You will see your who your local recruiters are and how they are doing as well as information about how you can get involved and have fun doing it.

The Legislation Tab allows you to stay informed about what AFSA is doing for you in the Nation's capital. Key items will be listed, as well as important publications, handouts, even the latest Capital Hill Update.

The Sponsors Tab recognizing those who have gladly stepped up in support of our Air Force community.

THE AIR FORCE SERGEANTS ASSOCIATION

AFSA is the Air Force enlisted organization dedicated to the people behind the stripes. The men and women behind the high tech machinery, the military protocol, the daring maneuvers ... the people who have invested their lives in the cause of freedom in America. Each year Congress makes hundreds of decisions on issues that directly affect the lives of enlisted people and their families. Important issues such as medical care, job security, salaries, commissary privileges and other benefits. There was a time when the voice of the enlisted Airman was nowhere to be heard ... until the Spring of l96l, when a handful of men came together to form the Air Force Sergeants Association. AFSA is an international organization dedicated to speaking out on behalf of enlisted Air Force personnel and today, with nearly 135,000 AFSA members, the voice of the enlisted rings strong on Capitol Hill. AFSA's membership is comprised of Air Force enlistees, both active and retired, of all grades, including Air National Guard and AF Reserve, and offers an Auxiliary program for family members of Air Force personnel. The Association is headquartered in the Airmen Memorial Building just minutes from the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., and only one mile from Andrews AFB, MD.

AFSA is the "Voice of the Enlisted”
