AFSPA
was formed following an informal reunion of
largely Security Police/Air
Police retirees held in Las Vegas, Nevada, in
June 1986.
The Association was incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation under
the laws of Texas.
Headquarters was established in San Marcos, Texas.
From its inception
the Association determined it would not be limited to retirees but would
be open to all who are, or had been, in the AAF Military Police, USAF Air
or Security Police career field -- regular, reserve, Air National Guard,
serving, served, or retired. Since 1987 the association has
held annually meeting. In 1995 it achieved a long-term goal of
2,000 members.

San Diego Chapter
The San Diego chapter of AFSPA was formed in 1997 under the guiding
hands of Tom Foster and Ronald J. Terry. In 2002 the chapter hosted
the annual meeting of the National Convention.
During the
planning of the meeting the chapter suffered the tragic loss of
its first president Ron Terry who died after a short illness. Subsequently,
chapter members
voted unanimously to rename the chapter:
The
Ronald J. Terry San Diego Chapter.
Membership
in the San Diego chapter includes two categories:
1) Full membership is open to those who meet the national guidelines stated
above.
2) Associate membership ship is open to all members of the Unites State
Armed Forces, active, retired, or prior service, and is not limited to
the law enforcement career field. Associate membership is also offered
to people who are active or former members of all civilian law enforce- ment
career fields.
The chapter meets on the third Saturday of each month at Admiral Baker
Field on the golf course Club House patio at 9:30 AM. Meetings last no
more than one and a half hours. If you are a fan of the ancient sport of
St. Andrews bring your golf clubs, in case a tee time is
available. For more information, call: Tom Foster (760) 438-0643 or Allan
