I am proud to be the President of the Non Commissioned Officers Association and encourage you to browse our website and read about the great benefits we provide to our members.  From our lobbying efforts on Capitol Hill, to our support of the enlisted military community, past and present, through our benevolent funds, to the various discount programs that save our members money in products and services, NCOA is truly an Association that works for you.

Our Association is a federally chartered, non-profit organization founded in 1960.  NCOA’s purpose is to work for the benefit of noncommissioned and petty officers and their families.  Our membership consists mainly of enlisted service members – active duty, veterans and retirees – from all five branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, including National Guard and Reserve.  We also have an associate division that is open to the general public, so yes, even if you have never served, you too can be a member.

NCOA takes great pride in being our members’ Voice in Washington on those issues that affect their quality of life and for those agendas that better prepare them to be successful.  Let us not forget that the reason we live in the land of the free is because of the brave men and women who have served their country and those who are serving today.

I encourage you to help our servicemen and women, retirees and veterans by becoming a member today.  Your membership not only entitles you to the member benefits, but you become a multiplier to our voice in Washington as we lobby for your rights. I encourage you to become a member today and join those of us who are on watch. Remember our motto: "Strength in Unity."
