What does LINKS stand for?

• Lifestyle means understanding the military community and the unique lifestyle it offers.
• Insights come from experienced Marine Corps volunteers who relate their tips and tricks to navigating through the USMC lifestyle.
• Networking with the other participants in your LINKS session.
• Knowledge is what you will leave with and what will help you understand and navigate the Marine Corps culture.
• Skills to help you enjoy and thrive in the Marine Corps community.

More About LINKS

LINKS provides a positive environment for Marines and their families to learn to manage the demands of the Marine Corps lifestyle, and to work together as a team in balancing family needs while meeting Marine Corps expectations. Get oriented with LINKS.

All branches of the military (USCG, USN, USAF, U.S. Army, and their family members), as well as civilians stationed on or near Cherry Point, are eligible to attend LINKS and all other MCFTB programs.
