Hello Marine Families!
In this issue,
learn how you can find information about YOUR
Marine's unit and take a look at the restructuring
we've done to make information on Iraq &
Afghanistan deployments easier to find. Remember
hotel reservations for the April conference need to
be made by March 21! And we'd like to announce
that MarineParents.com is now a 501(c)(3) public
charity.
Girl Scout Cookie Shipping Progress:
We're just under $1000 short of our $5200 goal for
shipping 350 cases of Girl Scout Cookies® to our

How to Find Information About YOUR Marine's Unit
The UIP (Unit Information Page) is a one to two page
all-inclusive resource of information for your Marine's
specific unit. The page includes unit history and
location, USMC contact information and web sites for
each unit as well as links to the MarineParents.com
message board and the chat room schedule for that
unit, giving you "a Place to Connect & Share" with
other families in your Marine's unit. This is a free
service from MarineParents.com, Inc.

Updated information and layout to help navigation
We're in the process of re-working the deployment
section of the web site to include a "Deployment
Information Center" which gives you terms and
definitions, category links, additional resources, and
tips for connecting and sharing with other family
members. We've completed the sections for
Deployment to Iraq and Deployment to Afghanistan.
Take a look at the new functionality and information.
