Which officer is responsible for managing contacts with the AFA and promoting growth in Silver Wings?

• A. Joint Relations Officer (JRO)
• B. Public Affairs Officer (PAO)
• C. Financial Management Officer (FM)
• D. Candidate Training Officer (CTO)

Answer: (A)

The role that handles external partnerships and growth initiatives is the Joint Relations Officer. This position serves as the main liaison with the Air Force Association (AFA) and focuses on expanding Silver Wings by building partnerships, coordinating joint activities, and promoting recruitment and engagement with external organizations.

Public Affairs handles messaging and communications, which is important but not about external outreach and growth with AFA. Financial Management takes care of budgeting and finances, and the Candidate Training Officer oversees the education and preparation of new members. The Joint Relations Officer uniquely fits the responsibility of managing contacts with AFA and driving Silver Wings’ growth.
