MOAA Will "Storm the Hill" on April 10

On April 10, over 150 members of the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) from every state will meet with legislators on Capitol Hill to discuss important issues facing the military community.
Do Not Raise TRICARE Fees

Think your health care already costs enough? So do we. But jacking up your TRICARE fees and out-of-pocket costs is on the list of budget options for lawmakers to consider. That would ignore the price military retirees and their families have paid up front with their service and sacrifice.
Do Not Cap Pay or Cut Benefits

Military pay and benefits matter. But apparently not to the Congressional Budget Office. On its list of budget options for lawmakers to consider are capping your pay raises and cutting back your BAH. Military families depend on BAH, and it’s only right that military pay keep pace with civilian salaries.
