Without you it would not have been a success.
985 Members have you recruited one yet?
It can be any AF member no matter the rank/status or a family member. We must keep recruiting and retaining members and keep our organization strong so that we can force the hand of Congress to stop pushing the military members aside. If you haven’t looked at the points of interest it will sure catch your attention.
Tuition Assistance changes may go down from 100% to 75% or lower
We may have to start paying for Dependent Health Care
Stay engaged and send the letters to your Congressman if you have questions about Legislative News or need help contacting your Congressman email Jeffery.Anderson@tinker.af.mil
