As I’m prepping this post (its already Monday) I am glued to my television set watching the coverage of the shooting at the Navy Yard. It brings back too many memories of the shooting near our old duty station in Nevada. When our military members are unsafe even at home, it is almost too much to handle. I have a friend at the Navy Yard so prayers and thoughts for him and his family, and for all those involved especially first responders.
For this week’s Military Monday, Military Support Series, I am highlighting MOAA (Military Officers Association of America). I have had the extreme pleasure to work with some of the volunteers at some events, and they are the most wonderfully passionate people that I have met. They are truly here to help you, and are very approachable and know what they are talking about.
MOAA is one of the Nation’s largest and most influential association of military officers. It is an independent, non-profit, politically nonpartisan organization. With over 380,000 members from every branch of service – including active duty, National Guard, Reserve, retired, former officers and their families – we are a powerful force, speaking for a strong national defense and representing the interests of military officers at every stage of their career. MOAA’s highest priority is providing first-class service to our members. We are the leading voice on compensation and benefit matters for all members of the military community. We provide expert advice and guidance to our members.
Membership is open to active duty, National Guard, Reserve, retired and former commissioned officers and warrant officers from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corp, Coast Guard, Public Health Service, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Auxiliary membership is also available to spouses of deceased service members.

As a member you have access to so much support, provided by this amazing organization and their
chapters near you. Assistance is provided in areas of Finance, Health, Education, Professional Development, Pay and Benefits, Careers, Discounts and Travel. This year MOAA also co-hosted the
2013 Warrior-Family Symposium just last week. I was unable to attend, but have to keeping up with all the information from the event on MOAA’s website. You can access video from the event on the site.
One of the main reasons why I chose to cover MOAA this week is because of the #MilSpouseSurvey that is going on right now. This survey is not just for MOAA members, or the spouses of Officers. We know that the employment of military spouses is a huge issue right now. In the milspouse universe right now, its everywhere. Everyone is working on it I feel like. I was just at a hiring fair directed specifically towards spouses. MOAA is doing its part, partnering with several other spouse and business organizations, to find out how to best address this significant issue in our community. Please take the
survey, and watch for its release in Spring of 2014.
Thanks for stopping by today. If you can’t use this information please pass it on to someone you know!
