AFAP

is an Servicemember-wide program put in place to improve Service Member's quality of life. Through AFAP, all Servicemembers, including active, Reserve, and National Guard , retirees, surviving spouses, DA civilians and their Family members have a forum to voice concerns to JBLM leadership and make recommendations for change.

How it works:

The local AFAP process is made up of delegates from all over the installation, including all Servicemembers, Family — active duty, Reserve, DA civilians, Family members and retirees. All their input and experience goes into working the issues and finding resolutions.
Although some issues take time or are proven unattainable, every issue is reviewed, monitored, and tracked until a resolution is found. About 90% of AFAP issues are retained and worked at a local level, resulting in ongoing community improvements. Issues beyond the scope of Joint Base Lewis-McChord are forwarded to a higher level of authority.

AFAP Issues

have been responsible for literally hundreds of legislative, regulatory and policy changes involving the Services and geared towards improving the quality of Service Member's life and enhancing readiness and retention.
Among the changes benefiting all JBLM services that have come through AFAP are pay increases, dental benefits, TRICARE reform, life insurance, housing allowances, and enhanced educational opportunities.
