INTRODUCTION TO THE GRADUATION GUIDE
5
WELCOME FAMILY MEMBERS!
We are thrilled to have you aboard Marine Corps Base (MCB) Quantico for graduation. This is such an important time for
your soon-to-be Marine and a memory they will carry the rest of their lives.
As exciting as graduation can be, it can also be a bit overwhelming. We understand that for many, this may be your very
first experience in the military lifestyle. To help you navigate through this sometimes unmarked territory, we developed
the Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS) MCB Quantico Graduation Guide. The program is part of the MCCS
Quantico network which provides many of the programs, facilities, and resources discussed throughout this guide. This
guide is designed to help you get a peek into the life of a candidate going through training, discover programs that
provide support for you and your soon-to-be Marine, and learn what happens after graduation.
This guide is a comprehensive look at everything we have to offer at MCB Quantico to help you plan for your trip,
choose what programs to attend, know what to expect once you arrive, and hopefully calm a few nerves. We are
looking forward to having you and your loved ones aboard MCB Quantico.
