USAF MEDICAL SERVICE CORPS ASSOCIATION, INC.

Several hundred retired Air Force MSC officers met at an ad hoc reunion organized by a group of dedicated San Antonio retirees in 1991. Some of them were "charter" MSCs, having transferred from the Army when our corps was established in 1949. Others were relative newcomers, younger and with different priorities. However, it quickly became clear consensus supported creating a formal organization to promote the interests of MSC retirees.

In 1992, the USAF MSC Association was incorporated in the State of Georgia and approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a non-profit veterans organization. We serve as a focal point for communications with and among members for educational, social and recreational purposes. We convene biennial membership meetings (reunions) which have become excellent learning opportunities, not to mention a place to renew acquaintances and enjoy old friends.

Since then, our membership has grown to over 700 (and still growing), reunions have been held in Las Vegas (1993, 1995 & 2001), Charleston, SC, in 1997, San Antonio, TX, (1991, 1999, & 2007), Biloxi, MS in 2003 and San Diego, CA in 2005. Membership rosters are printed annually and sent to active members, and periodic newsletters are published on matters of interest to our members. Most members agree that the value of the roster alone exceeds the cost of annual dues. Added to that are benefits derived from the reunions which are more and more becoming educational seminars featuring presentations by knowledgeable staff from the Surgeon General's Office, The Military Officers Association of America and similar non-profit groups.

Membership Criteria

While initially established as an organization of retired Air Force MSC officers, bylaws amendments in 1995 opened the association to active duty MSCs and MSCs in the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard. Because of the increased number of members from these components, makeup of the board of directors specifically includes an active duty officer, a USAFR officer and an ANG officer. In 2003 the membership eligibility was expanded to include former MSCs who did not attain retirement eligibility.

Air Force Biomedical Sciences Corps (BSC) officers who served on active duty as MSCs and widows/widowers of deceased corps members are also eligible for full membership. Further, the Honorary Membership category is available to recognize worthy individuals who have contributed to the growth of the Air Force Medical Service Corps but are not otherwise eligible for regular membership.

To apply for membership, candidates complete a short on-line application form . Annual dues can be paid by PayPal, or send a check for annual dues (or for a lifetime membership, at the rates indicated) made payable to the association. For further information, you may check our website at www.mscassociation.org or contact Col Charlie Brown, Association Secretary, toll-free at: 1-866-818-2110, or via email at AFMSCASSOCIATION@comcast.net Thanks so much for your interest!
