JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. –
The Joint Base Charleston's Top 3 Organization's primary purpose is to provide enlisted leadership. We support projects and programs that directly enhance the professional development, morale, welfare, and status of enlisted personnel assigned to the base and serve as a forum to promote camaraderie and cooperation among our members and to disseminate information of common interest to senior non-commissioned officers.
The Top 3 Association meets the second Wednesday of the month at the Low Country Bar in the Base Club at noon. It is open to all E-7s and above and Navy Chiefs are welcome to attend.
