MPCN: Official MarineParents.com Groups
For more than two decades, we've been supporting Marine and recruit family members on various social media platforms. Now, we're returning to our roots and have launched our own social media platform, MPCN—Marine Parents Community Network: a place to ConnectAndShare.com. This is more than just a website, it's a Marine Corps community where you'll find the groups, support, and engagement you've come to rely on, minus the algorithms, privacy concerns, and data collection.
We're taking it one step at a time, opening our doors gradually to ensure a smooth transition for everyone. This way, we can provide the best possible support and resources for our growing community. As with everything we do as a non-profit, joining the community for the power of connection and support is completely free! Come share experiences, find support, and celebrate milestones with others who understand the Marine Corps journey.

The Official MarineParents.com community and groups are not only a Place to Connect & Share®; the groups are educational, too. We have different groups for each stage of your recruit or Marine's career in the Corps and afterward (see tabs below). Our trained volunteers and moderators share curriculum topics from each of our websites to help group members learn about various stages of boot camp, schooling, the Marine Corps, Life in the Corps, and After the Corps.
The Marine Parents Community Network replaces the Official MarineParents.com Facebook Groups. Join us at ConnectAndShare.com. We've been supporting Marines and their family members across the nation since 2003. You've found folks that understand where you are. You've found your Marine Corps family and a Place to Connect & Share®.
Social media should not endanger our troops. Training for our volunteers includes how to oversee military groups for security and safety issues with both OPSEC and PERSEC. We are strict with our guidelines and take the responsibility of safety very seriously. All group members must follow our Community Code of Conduct 10 Guidelines. Posts and comments which do not follow the guidelines will be edited or deleted without notice.
We do NOT ask for personally identifying information about you or your recruit/Marine when you join our groups. Please be cautious of other Community Networks and Facebook groups who state the criteria for joining their group includes any of the following: your recruit or Marine's name, the recruiter's name, location of the recruiting station, MOS, or unit.
This group has given me something to look forward to when I log in. It gives me an idea of what he is experiencing. It's nice to know that other families are on this same journey with me.011— Recruit Mom Kelly, 2022
