TRAINING AND CLASSES
63. ARMED FORCES ACTION PLAN (AFAP) is the program to share suggestions to improve the quality of life for Service
members, Wounded Warriors, Family members, Retirees, and Surviving Family members. We are currently
accepting issues/recommendations for improvement for the 2013 AFAP Conference scheduled for October.

11. 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.
How it works:
At the JBLM AFAP Conference, delegates from across the installation, comprised of Service members, Family (Active
Duty, Wounded Warriors, Reserve, Civilian Employees, Family members, Retirees, & Surviving Family members),
review and prioritize the issues that are submitted. 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.
If you would like additional information about AFAP, please contact the AFAP office at (253)967-9496 or
