The purpose of the Air Force Academy Parent's Association of New Jersey (AFAPANJ) is to provide a unified, cohesive network open to all New Jersey Air Force Academy cadets, their families and their friends (both currently attending, postgraduate and future appointees). As members, we share a common goal of supporting our cadets, improving the communication between the Air Force Academy and ourselves, and to create a better understanding of military life before, during and beyond a cadet's Academy experience.  The AFAPANJ will assist in distributing timely information and providing updates through our regular meetings, newsletters, e-mailings and information posted on our website. By doing so, we will strive to keep our members better informed of policies, procedures and other relevant information pertinent to Academy life.  Ultimately, the members of the AFAPANJ commit to work together in helping to improve and enhance their own and their cadet's lives by exchanging knowledge, information and personal experiences among its members.
