The MOAA’s Three Membership Types




An officer with the United States Army, Col. Morris Reese Turner has a proven track record of inspiring others. Through his more than 20-year career, he has held such roles as commander at the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, battalion commander at Fort Bragg, and brigade deputy commander at Fort Sill. Col. Reese Turner also belongs to the MOAA.

The Military Officer Association of America (MOAA), the largest association of military officers in the United States, maintains three types of membership that each offer a variety of benefits. These three membership types are briefly described below:

- Basic: an electronic, no-fee membership designed for junior officers, the MOAA basic membership gives individuals the chance to participate in career fairs and various networking opportunities. Members also receive travel and product discounts and newsletters.

- Premium: available in one, two, or three year subscriptions, premium membership starts at $40 and offers the same benefits as basic memberships. It also includes all of the MOAA’s career resources and exclusive publications, along with access to scholarships and financial advice.

- Life: the most elite membership option, life membership varies in cost depending on age and includes all benefits of the other membership types. However, it does include several exclusive benefits such as the option to waive Army and Navy Club fees and extra travel rewards.
