On behalf of the Commanding Officer, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Phantom Phamily. My name is Gisela Lemon, and I am the VMU-3 Family Readiness Officer. I am here to assist you and your family in all areas of morale and readiness while in CONUS and deployed.
The Marine Corps has defined family as any entity the Marine is born into, sworn into, or married into. Our Commandant’s message is that a Marine makes an enduring commitment to the Corps and the Corps, in turn, makes an enduring commitment to every Marine-and to his/her family.
This VMU-3 Welcome Aboard Package contains information on the Twentynine Palms area, as well as various important phone numbers. In the addition, please complete the Unit, Personal, and Family Readiness Program Contact Authorization form or NAVMC 11654. This form must be completed within 10 business days of checking into the Command. This information is requested to assist the Commanding Officer in his quest to support for Marines, Sailors, and their families by providing them information, referrals and official command communication in compliance with Marine Corps Order 1754.9.. Please be assured that all personal information will be kept in the strictest compliance with all policies regarding Personally Identifiable Information and the Privacy Act of 1974.
Please take the time to examine the Welcome Aboard Package that has been assembled for you. In it you will find details regarding the Family Readiness program, as well as valuable information about the local community that can support you in your transition. You will be surprised at what you can find in the desert if you take the time to look!
If there is anything further I can help you with, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to meeting you during your check in process.
Warmly,
Gisela Lemon
