Single Marine Program = Making Connections

The Single Marine Program (SMP) aims to boost the morale of single and unaccompanied Marines and strengthen their total fitness by expanding their social network.

Marine Corps Total Fitness (MCTF) identifies quality of life as an inseparable component of mission success. SMP contributes to MCTF by helping Marines deal with issues that affect their quality of life.

Physical and mental wellness, along with the ability to adapt to life’s challenges, affect our enjoyment of life. General Eric Smith, Commandant of the Marine Corps, emphasized the importance of ensuring Marines are satisfied with their quality of life. “Taking care of Marines is a warfighting function,” Smith said. “Otherwise, they cannot focus on the mission at hand. Barracks, chow halls, and gyms are key to retaining Marines, and investments in quality-of-life initiatives are truly warfighting needs.”

With SMP, Marines can advocate for their needs via their executive councils where all quality-of-life issues are reported and addressed with the installation sergeant major's oversight.
