Farewell
Jan 11 2010
For the past few years, it has been my privilege to share with you information and resources affecting military spouses. Now it’s time to turn that over to someone else. For the past nearly five years, I’ve had the honor of spearheading MOAA’s military spouse outreach initiatives, but it’s time to move on.
We’ve shared a lot of information here over the past few years and I appreciate your candor in sharing your experiences and challenges. This has been a great forum for commiserating over job searches, children and deployments. I hope that you’ve found some support and nuggets of information. I’ve enjoyed getting to know each and every one of you. Who else but other military spouses understand Murphy’s Law of Deployments, the difficulties of maintaining a career over multiple PCS’es and all the other challenges that come with our transient lifestyle?!? I’ll miss hearing from you all, but I’m not going far, you can find me here. And you’ll still be able to come to MOAASpouse for great information. As a matter of fact, you should all be paying close attention because the MOAASpouse blog will be undergoing a Facelift and will be coming back better than ever! As for me and mine, we’re getting ready for a homecoming. My husband is due to return from his deployment later this week and we are eagerly anticipating the reunion. As one door closes, we’re finding that others are opening, so it should be quite a ride over the next few months. Stay tuned!
Again, I thank you for the opportunity to share some information with you and wish you all the best. If your servicemember is still deployed, we wish them a safe and speedy return.
Warmest regards,
Sue Hoppin

Fair winds and following seas. You were the right person at the right time. We’ll miss you, but we know you are on to bigger things. Happy homecoming!!!!! See you around town!
It’s difficult to imagine anybody doing it as well as you have Sue, but I’m excited for you and look forward to contiue working together to support military families. Happy homecoming!!
Congrats, Sue, on a job well done. I wish you the best in what’s next. Welcome home to your other half!
I was just getting acquainted with your blog site and I’m so disappointed to learn that you’re no long part of it. Thank you for the difference you made in so many lives, and happy acclimating to your homecoming! Judging by the length of time since there’s been a post here, you’re obviously leaving some pretty big shoes to fill!
