What do we do ?

The basis of the Association is the recognition of the right to a general and independent promotion of interest for all employees of the Ministry of Defence with full respect for freedom of religion, political and social views. Therefore, the Association does not have any connection with political-, religious- or social movements. The Association will promote the interests of its members in their position as a (retired) soldier and civil servant. In order to achieve this, the Association is in permanent consultation with:

• the Government about general labour conditions and legal status;
• the Commander in Chief of the Air Force about Air Force affairs;
• the Commander in Chief of the Army about Army affairs;
• the Commander in Chief of the Navy about Navy affairs;
• the Ministry of Defence about retired personnel;
• local Commanders about working conditions;
• other associations for military personnel in the Netherlands;
• other civil associations or trade unions;
• international associations for military personnel (Euromil).

But we do more for our members! The association:

• issues a monthly magazine for the members;
• issues every two weeks a bulletin for LR and POC;
• gives training and education for the members;
• holds meetings with the Departmental Committees and Local Representatives;
• advises the individual member on legal matters;
• gives the individual member legal assistance;
• provides numerous benefits from the membership, such as:
  • reductions on car-insurance premiums;
  • an accident-insurance that also pays off during UN-operations;
  • savings accounts with a high interest;
  • a membership-card that will give discount in 7.000 stores.

In addition to all this, the AFMP/FNV's Wellfare-section can help the members with financial problems and/or advice on social matters. The Wellfare-section also advises the members on legal matters or assists them with com- plaints about transfers or periodical reviews. For that latter purpose there are several counsellors connected with the Wellfare-section. They are from all branches of the armed forces and individually support the member who asked for help.
