    MOAA  is there for officers at every stage of their lives--fighting for younger officers on issues like pay raises and easing deployment stress, helping second career officers find their next position (TOPS), providing scholarships to families to help with college costs, and protecting earned retirement benefits.

   The TAMPA CHAPTER-MOAA, one of the largest and recognized as one of the top chapters in the Nation, has a very basic and focused approach for all officers on Active duty, Reserve, National Guard, and retired officers--WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK!

   We're officers just like you, so we understand what is important to you.  You are focused on doing your job to the best of your ability, planning to attend the next level of schooling required for advancement, buying a house, buying a car, getting your kids in good schools, coaching soccer or little league teams and being a good parent or spouse. You do not have the time to monitor what bills are going through the Senate or the House and how will that affect you in the present or in the distant future- WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK!

   MOAA is the largest, most effective organization advocating for officers and their families. We have over 376,000 members and when MOAA LEADERS TALK TO CONGRESS--THEY LISTEN! Without MOAA, many of the gains we've made in recent years--pay raises, tax equity for military homeowners, TRICARE FOR LIFE, improved SBP--would never have happened.  We need every officer on board to stay effective--WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK!
