Dear Marine families,

The mission of MarineParents.com is to provide support, information, and services to recruit and Marine family members and troops over the course of the life-cycle of your recruit or Marine's career in the Corps.

The EGA Shop is very important to what we do at MarineParents.com. The EGA Shop is where you can find Marine Corps items for every Marine family, parent, mom, dad, wife. Marine Corps lapel pins, Marine books, Marine Corps scrapbooking supplies, all at the Marine Corps store where every purchase you make helps to support the troops and their families at home through the outreach programs of MarineParents.com, Inc. an IRS approved 501(c)(3) public charity.  

Thank you for supporting our troops!

God bless and Semper Fi!
After the Corps: Individual Ready Reserve (IRR)

All Marines are required to go through the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) after their initial active-service comes to an end, unless he or she chooses to reenlist. If a recruit enlists prior to the required age of enlistment, he or she would be placed in the Delayed Entry Program. The benefit of the Delayed Entry Program is that it counts towards the time spent in the IRR after separation from the service.  Click here to learn more.
