Retiree Activities Office

Attention all retirees, veterans, spouses and surviving spouses.

If you have not been receiving emails about veterans’ affairs, entitlements, pay and benefits that are sent out by the Retiree Affairs Office, it might be because of the email address you provided. Some email addresses may not work with the U.S. Air Force servers. If you would like to begin receiving RAO emails again, please email your updated contact information to our Gmail account at ramraoteam@gmail.com and official email at 86aw.rao@us.af.mil so that we can update our contact list. Thank you!

Your Retiree Affairs Office wants you!

It is our mission to serve our retiree community — but we rely on our volunteer staff to do so. Volunteering can mean as little as one day a week for a four-hour block. The RAO is open Mon 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Tue/Wed/Thu from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and closed for lunch from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. We are located in Building 2118, Room 138 next to the VAT Office. Please visit our website at https://www.ramstein.af.mil/Contact/Retiree-Activities-Program/ for factsheets and recent RAO Newsletters on navigating being a retiree in Germany. Routine questions can be sent via email, but we ask that you make an appointment for specific subjects such as pre-death planning/surviving spouse issues and or Retiring in Germany. For appointments either call during office hours at 06371-47-5486, and/or send us an email to: 86aw.rao@us.af.mil. Any problems making contact, please email your Acting Director, retired Chief Master Sgt. Jim Barrante at: jim.barrante@gmail.com.
