Peruvian Military
Explanation:
This might be the safest; FAP could be "Fuerzas Armadas" (Armed Forces) or it could be specifically "Fuerza Aérea" (Air Force). Could be Panamanian or Paraguayan for that matter, but if it's from Perú I'd bet on that.

agree  Isabel Sánchez: If it's from Peru, "Peruvian Air Force Officer" might work better.
