FAMILY MATTERS FRIDAY with Carey Crance, International Family Matters Trustee | Last month CMSAF Wolfe released a letter to all of the airmen that sparked so many “why” conversations. I thought I would share my “why”.
When I became an AFSA member, my service member was working in panamas, overnight, while I was at home with 2 toddlers. I was “just” a mom, “just” a spouse, “just” barely staying above water. I was looking for more, but didn’t know how to find it.
AFSA fell into my lap in the most perfect way. It was everything I had been lacking. Community, support, professional development, and opportunities, regardless of where my service member would be stationed next.
Never did I think when I joined, I would be named the Family Member of the year, let alone the international trustee for Family Matters.
If you are a spouse who feels the way I did, I encourage you to check out an AFSA meeting. Then tell me about your first meeting. If you are a family member and joined AFSA, share your testimony of why you joined AFSA.
