AF members responsible for the care of their family must make family care arrangements that reasonably cover all situations, both short and long term.
The AF is an air, space and cyberspace expeditionary force. In order to accomplish our mission we must be able to deploy at a moments notice.
Single parents, dual military couples with dependents and members with civilian spouses or other dependents that have unique family situations are required to have a written family care plan on file with their commander or first sergeant.
If you fall into the categories just mentioned, when you get to Technical School, you will be required to complete an AF Form 357, Family Care Certification. You must notify your commander or first sergeant of any changes in your family status.
There are also many AF agencies available to help you set up your Family Care Plan needs.
- Commander or First Sergeant
- Military & Family Readiness Center
- Child Care Centers
- Military Personnel Flight
- Staff Judge Advocate
- Financial Services Office
See your first sergeant if you have any questions about your Family Care Plan or whether you need to have one or not.
