Ashley Black

Ashley is a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother, affectionately known as Lala. She has two children and two grandchildren, a girl and a boy, who were given to her by her eldest. Her son has bestowed upon her the title of Marine MoM, marking her first foray into the military lifestyle. Although her grandparents served in different military branches, they had retired before she was born. Her son completed boot camp at MCRD San Diego in May 2024. Now, her Marine is pursuing his dream, completing his MOS training with the aspiration to serve his country abroad.

Ashley became a volunteer at MarineParents.com following her Marine's completion of Recruit training. She was drawn to the organization because of the support she received while her son was in boot camp. Reading the daily posts, she gained insight into her recruit's experiences. The support and knowledge from MarineParents.com were instrumental in helping her understand her Marine's daily challenges. Ashley's desire to volunteer stemmed from a wish to share her own experiences and assist other families in navigating the boot camp journey. She never felt isolated and aims to ensure no family feels alone as their recruit transitions into a Marine. Ashley's love for her family, God, and country is profound.
