When we think of long wars, we naturally think of the impact on troops and equipment, but the military family is equally strained when conflicts continue for multiple years. With this in mind, Marine Corps officials have announced a $30 million budget increase to a USMC program that looks to strengthen both Marines and the Marine family while the longest all-volunteer war in our nation's history continues.

Like the Army's recent "Army Family Covenant," the Marine Corps Family Team Building (MCFTB) program recognizes that military families are the warrior's true support system. Marine Corps leaders understand that current family programs are still based on the realities of a peace-time Corps, and as a result, they've committed to increasing the MCFTB's resources.

The MCFTB offers programs that, among other things, offers spouse-to-spouse orientation for spouses new to the Marine Corps, personal and professional growth workshops for spouses, Military OneSource resources, marriage and relationship seminars and religious enrichment programs run by Navy chaplains.

The impact of this funding will reportedly be seen early this year during the first fiscal quarter and is supported on all major Marine installations by the Marine Corps Community Services (MCCS).

In addition to the MCFTB programs, Marine spouses can also take advantage of military spouse education opportunities by pursuing military spouse scholarships and searching online for schools that offer military spouse tuition discounts. The Navy-Marine Corp Relief Society offers scholarships to Marine spouses - information can be found at their site www.usmc-mccs.org/ - while many online schools offer some form of tuition assistance for military spouses.
