| Single Marine Program |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| The Marine Corps is committed to improving quality of life (QOL) for single Marines. Through council meetings single Marines identify issues, concerns, suggestions, and are involved with programming, and in some instances coordination, of special events and activities. |
| |
| Membership |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- |
Membership isn’t required to “join”-all single and unaccompanied Marines are automatically included. The primary target market is the 17 to 25 year old Marine living in the barracks. The program relies on the ideas, issues, and concerns of Marines for its success. The more participation, the more morale is improved.

| Benefits of the Program |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- |
The Single Marine Program (SMP) was established to have Marines identify concerns of quality of life (QOL) and other aspects of Marines’ lives. The program encourages single Marines to provide input and ideas toward programming for the SMP component areas:
- Community Involvement
- Life Skills
- Health and Wellness
- Recreation
- Career Progression
|
| |
| Structure and Function |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| Motivated single Marines, a supportive command, and Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS) staff provide the foundation for a successful program. An established council includes unit representatives from throughout the command. The elected leadership positions include: President, Vice President, Recorder, and Treasurer (optional). This group comprises the Executive Council. The installation Sergeant Major serves as the Senior Enlisted Advisor (SEA) to the Council and liaison to the installation commander. A SMP Coordinator provides support and guidance. |
| |
| How SMP works... |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| The representatives meet to identify and address issues affecting
QOL for single Marines. These issues are then submitted to the
proper agency for resolution. Minutes from each meeting are distributed to the council and the installation Sergeant Major to keep
the command informed of plans, programming, and resolution of issues. |
