Now through July 2010 is the “Year of the Air Force Family.” Developing and caring for Airmen and their families remains one of our top priorities. We have a long and enviable history of meeting the needs of the Air Force Family through comprehensive Quality of Service initiatives. Such initiatives strengthen our families and are important to the readiness and retention of our Airmen. During the Year of the Air Force Family we will examine our existing services and look for ways to evolve and expand them to meet the changing needs and expectations of our Airmen, their families and the larger Air Force Family as well.
