f you are a retired or active duty Warrant or Commissioned<br />

officer (or their widow/widower) in the northeastern<br />

North Carolina area, MOAA (Military Officers<br />

Association of America ) is starting a local chapter this<br />

month.<br />

The nation’s largest and most influential association<br />

of military officers, MOAA helps members stay informed<br />

of relevant issues and network inside and outside of the<br />

military to develop their careers.<br />

“Everyone takes the uniform off at some time,” mentions<br />

chapter co-founder Commander Matt Walker.<br />

“The key is to have a plan for the end on day one. Begin<br />

with the end in mind.”<br />

What differentiates MOAA from other military organizations<br />

is its emphasis on networking and education for<br />

a successful transition after the military. In addition, the<br />

chapter is family-oriented.<br />

One of its objectives is to engage with spouses who<br />

may be seeking career, business, and reciprocal licensing<br />

opportunities while regularly on the move.<br />

In addition, outreach projects are planned to connect<br />

with the Elizabeth City community and ROTC programs<br />

at local colleges.<br />

The group is open to all branches and formulated so<br />

time-deprived service members (whether single or married)<br />

and it can invest in their future.<br />

To learn more, connect with Commander Matt Walker at<br />

Laura Bush Jenkins is married to a US Army veteran and<br />

is the author of Undercover Patriot, a memoir with practical<br />

ways concerned citizens can encourage returning<br />

veterans.<br />

way to express<br />

yourself in music and<br />

the other arts, and it<br />

hopefully complements<br />

other things you do in<br />

technology.<br />
