The professionals at AFNAFPO believe that our successes/failures are measured daily by our customers through the
type of products and services we deliver. Most importantly, we must always strive to understand our customers' expectations to support
the quality of life programs they expect and deserve. For us to be successful, industry too, becomes a critical link in meeting our
deliverables. We must partner together in meeting our customer's expectations. We believe in cooperating to the fullest extent possible
with all suppliers and manufacturers while maintaining the highest standards of business ethics. Through this "Win-Win" philosophy
we strive with industry to provide the best products and services for the troops.
