A PARENT'S GUIDE TO THE MARINE CORPS

This is the official Parent's Guide to the U.S. Marine Corps, where you can learn how to help your son or daughter make an informed decision about enlisting in the Marines.

With service to country comes the highest level of training and success — both in defending our country and in a Marine's personal life. Marines win battles and develop into quality citizens. It is a difficult road, but one you can be proud your son or daughter is considering. It is also something that you can be part of.
