In this section of our web site, you'll learn about communications during deployment. What type of communications will your Marine have access to while deployed? What is MotoMail? How do you contact the Marine Corps if you need assistance or have questions? Should you contact a chaplain or the Red Cross in an emergency? And, finally, how can you connect with other families who have deployed Marines?

This section of the web site will help guide you through the process of bootcamp. We provide links to a multitude of informational sites that will give you information you need about bootcamp, the training matrix, illnesses or injury during bootcamp, definitions and jargon, and finally family day and graduation. Be sure to login to our message boards at www.recruitparents.com to meet other Recruit Moms, Dads, Wives, Family and Friends.

This is a brief overview of the web site and the many services offered to the families and friends of our Marines. Did you know we have a Care Package Project with volunteers sending thousands of care packages to our Marines overseas? We have a National Database of Regional Support Groups and information on how to start a support group in your community. We have a Marine Corps Newsroom and an Annual National Conference.
