On behalf of the Command Team, welcome to 9th Marine Corps District. At 9th Marine Corps district, we believe that Family is one of the most important tenants of a Marines success, family readiness at home means mission readiness for the Marine.
As the Deployment Readiness Coordinator (DRC), I support the Commanding Officer with communication to the Marines and their family members. I do this by way of providing information and resource referral, provide deployment and readiness support, and volunteer management.
I also serve as an informational link between the 9thMarine Corps District Commander and your Recruiting Station (RS) Uniformed Readiness Coordinators (URCs). Your unit URCs will keep you informed of command training events, briefs and local, current and command-sponsored events. Each unit’s resources may look different because they are uniquely tailored to the area you are stationed to. You will receive e-mails, phone calls and messages from MOL informing you of what is taking place within your respective command.
Once on deck, ensure that you connect with your URC at the RS or me at District headquarters. We have important information for you and starting a conversation can help us better understand the type of resources and support – if any, that you need. Your wellbeing is important, we are here to help alleviate everyday stressors during this unique assignment.
The Command Family Readiness Team and I look forward to assisting you and your family. We are here to support you, advocate for you and family and aim to help improve your quality of life.
