Spouse OrganizationsOfficer Spouse Club
Socials are held on the second Tuesday of
every month. Dues: 01-02: $30/yr, 03+ & Retirees: $60/yr.
The Officer Spouse Club at Vance is a private organization for officers’ spouses to socialize and interact with an open and welcoming environment. It provides opportunities for spouses to develop supportive, nurturing and mentoring friendships through the monthly socials, fundraising and volunteering. The OSC is involved in raising funds for charitable donations to benefit the Enid community and to provide scholarships for dependents of active duty, spouses’ and contract workers of Vance AFB. It is open to all Officers’ spouses; student spouses, retirees and reservists. Your involvement will make a difference in your base, your community and your home.

Enlisted Spouses [email protected]
Socials are held on the second Monday of
the month, August through May.
The Enlisted Spouses Group’s focus is on fellowship, support and fun for all enlisted
spouses at Vance Air Force Base.
Student Spouse Group [email protected]
Socials are informal and there are usually
three per month including: informal coffee (at a spouse home), event (group activity) and dinner (group dining out).
Our goal is to provide an opportunity for
the spouses and significant others of student or casual officers at Vance to socialize, stay informed and learn more
about the various aspects of military life in a supportive atmosphere.
