Mission Statement The Marine For Life Network formally extends our commitment to “take care of our own” by growing and sustaining a self-perpetuating, Marine-friendly network to inform Marines of resources identified through the network in order to assist with the transition to civilian life and pursuit of lifelong goals. This mission statement was crafted with the intent of speaking not only to the current focus on transitioning Marines but to the future vision of providing information and support to all Marines through their lives. “From grinder to grave” Also, the word “Marine” in this context includes active and reserve Marines, Marine veterans, Marine spouses, and Sailors who have served with the Marine Corps.
Version Number/Last Update Marine For Life Network connects transitioning Marines and their family members to education resources, employment opportunities and other veterans services that aid in their career and life goals outside of military service. Face to Face Network Online Network This slide describes what we do and how we do it. The M4L reps and the RNCs are the backbone on the face to face network. The Outreach team provide that same support to the online network. To provide a continuity of service for our Marines, having a consistent service/ from our online network to face to face is key. 9/17/2018 Version Number/Last Update
