List of Base Resources & Their Services

This is a list of resources available to active duty and their families. I encourage you to utilize these resources as needed. They are there to assist you and your family. The Marine Corps has taken steps in ensuring that thier families are taken care of. Keep in mind, however, that some of these services may not be available in your particular base. Your first step is to go Family Service Center and they will refer you to the proper organizations that can provide the service you need. In order to utilize these resources, you must have a valid ID card. I attempted to list ALL that is available, but I am positive that I have either forgotten or just don't know what else exists, but at least you now have an idea of what is available to you. If you feel that I have made an error in the list or did not list something, please e-mail me.
