Air Force Sergeants Association is an 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 1961, 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 120,000 AFSA members, the voice of the enlisted rings strong on Capitol Hill. AFSA is a federally chartered, non-profit organization representing the professional and personal interests of active duty and retired enlisted members of the U.S. Air Force, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve.

Chapter 872 is comprised of over 1,800 members from the Active Duty, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, and Retirees from Scott AFB and the local community. Chapter 872 makes a significant contribution to the base and local community.  We are actively involved the base and wing annual and quarterly awards program, Airman Leadership School Distinguish Graduate awards, hosts the Annual Scott AFB Enlisted Interservice Dining Out, and provides legislative and association updates to base level organizations.  We also visit the Missouri and Illinois Veterans home, present area high school Air Force Junior ROTC and Civil Area Patrol programs annual awards.
