MOAA Blogs

Read what MOAA’s bloggers about finance, issues affecting military spouses and families, defense matters, and more, and then chime in with your own thoughts. MOAA wants to hear from you.

Have you ever received an email claiming to be true, but you question its authenticity? Of course, we all have. In an effort to help you discern fact from fiction, MOAA will be giving you the resources to dig deep and find the truth.

Are you looking for a plain language explanation of your VA benefits? Look no further. The MOAA Claims Assistance blogs offers information on changes in VA law, VA benefits and insider tips for developing and filing a claim.

MOAA offers you timely advice on smart money moves, common pitfalls in retirement, college planning for kids, estate and insurance planning, maximizing your military benefits, and more!

Find out about discounts, products and events for servicemembers and their families here. Looking for a funny or heartwarming video about the military? Yeah, we have those, too!

Making it in the MilLife® is the blog where you can get deeper insight on current issues affecting military spouses and families, follow our spouse programs and read interviews with community leaders. Spouses are each other’s best resource, so if you would like to be considered for a guest blog entry or have a story idea, please contact the MOAA Spouse Program at moaaspouse@moaa.org.

Happy Hour / Meet and Greet

Friday March 11, 2016

At The O Club of the Day

Sarasota Vineyard

1528 Main Street

Sarasota Florida

1700 to 1900

We have recreated the camaraderie of the O' Club that we enjoyed in our younger days. Please join us at the Club.

No cost except for what you eat or drink - No Reservations.

New Parking Deck 93 paces from rear entrance of the O'Club. Go through the parking lot and alley. Or you can go via State Street to Lemon Ave to Main St.

It is our understanding that Government built this amenity to support Sarasota MOAA Happy Hours. Thank you, Government.

Marines and Soldiers can low crawl out the back door of the O'Club through the parking lot to the garage. Air Force Officers can levitate / aviate over the buildings. The Navy and Coast Guard are seeking a Federal Grant to buy a ship and construct a waterway, quay, and harbor. Troy Scott is planning a zip line so that Airborne Rangers can repel from the top floor of the garage directly to the bar where they will shout AIRBORNE!! ALL THE WAY!! if they survive.

Spouses and friends are encouraged to attend.

Hope you can join us at the Happy Hour.

Spread the Good Word

You tell the troops, then you tell them again, and again, and again. And of course a good leader also listens to his people. Excellent Communication should be both ways.
