Why You Should Join
Mayport Chapter is a chapter of the national
Military Officer Association of America (MOAA). If you are not a member of national MOAA check out their
benefits to realize why you should join.
Exactly what does MOAA have to offer that other military associations don't? Here
are a few good answers.
First, MOAA is a leader in The Military Coalition that works each year to pass national
legislation that benefits military members and their families. Second, MOAA has
many programs and benefits in place that can help you with everything from transitioning
to a second career in the civilian sector to booking a discounted vacation cruise.
The thing MOAA does best, however, is continually educate its members about their
earned military benefits and entitlements and keep them abreast of changes that
affect them. Recently, the following item in the Green Valley (Ariz.) Chapter's
newsletter, which was written by Cmdr. John Chernoski, USNR-Ret., membership cochairman
and webmaster. His comments serve as a reminder that membership in MOAA has real
value.
"If you are not an MOAA member, you might ponder why you should join national MOAA.
First, our chapter's bylaws require chapter members to be national MOAA members.
"Another reason is more practical - the outstanding benefits and programs provided
by MOAA.
Joining Mayport Chapter offers you a network of local members that are passionate
about protecting our benefits. We offer monthly meetings to network with other
current and retired military officers together with their spouses.
