MPCN: MarineParents.com Social Media Platform

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.

Getting started is easy! Create an account, explore our groups tailored to different stages of the Marine Corps journey, and join the one that's right for you. Whether you're a recruit parent, an OCS parent, a seasoned veteran parent, or a parent supporting your Marine, we've got your six.

Marine Parents Community Network: MPCN is not only a Place to Connect & Share®; our community and groups are educational, too. We have different groups for each stage of your recruit or Marine's career in the Corps and afterward (see links in the red bar). Our trained volunteers and moderators share curriculum topics from each of our websites to help group members learn about various stages of boot camp, OCS, schooling, the Marine Corps, Life in the Corps, and After the Corps.

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.

We do NOT ask for personally identifying information about you or your recruit/Marine when you join our community. Please be cautious of other Social Media 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.

Transparency in Our Approach

Your online activity is yours alone! Unlike many other sites, we don't track your browsing habits or spending with cookies to serve you ads. Our community is ad-free and focused on connection and support. However, you will see promotions for The EGA Shop, our store where all proceeds directly support our organization's outreach programs and mission as a 501(c)(3) public charity. By shopping with us, you're helping further our charitable work - and that's something we think is worth celebrating!
