A new system called the Marine Online Mass Communication Solution was recently put in place for parent and family contact information to be conveniently accessed and utilized. This solution will increase efficiency of communication between commanders and Family Readiness Officers (FRO) and their Marines, spouses and families.
Previously, Marines were required to fill out a handwritten form with their parent or spouse's contact information to be given to their FRO.
That system was replaced with an online tool that allows Marines to enter their personal contact information to the system and update it easily as needed. Your Marine's FRO will now be able to access this important information without having to ask your Marine to fill out a contact sheet.
Marines may add several contacts they would like notified when urgent communication is necessary. Currently, contacts listed in the online system will receive email notifications. The system will eventually allow for contacts to receive text messages and voicemails.
