Young AFCEAN Program Award
Kaiserslautern Chapter 158 has always had an outstanding Young AFCEAN Program. The program is outstanding because the majority of the young Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Airmen in the Communications Groups at Ramstein AB belong to the chapter and because a number of these young members enthusiastically volunteer to be board members or to support the chapter for special events or projects. These young members play a significant role in the success of the chapter each year while at the same time improving their job and leadership skills by participating in the numerous programs that the chapter has.
