All ages are welcome mbut especially younger ex airforce members.
It’s a lot of fun and with Julie at the controls, it’s going to get more zany for sure, as Julie is a fun loving spirit with contagious laughter and as the first female EVER female president , you just know it’s going to be hilarious. We have a few great trips planned with the whole committee chipping in to entertain around 75 current members.
