Greetings to the Professionals Family!
On behalf of the Commanding Officer, welcome to 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines! My name is Tina Tuiolemotu, and I am the Deployment Readiness Coordinator (DRC). I am dedicated to supporting the Commander’s vision for the Unit, Personnel, and Family Readiness Program (UPFRP) and assisting your family with all aspects of readiness.
Having grown up as a military child and now a Marine spouse with three children, I understand the challenges of military life and deployments. These experiences have helped me grow and thrive, and I am here to help you do the same.
Our mission is to provide Marines, Sailors, and their families with the tools they need to face military life’s challenges. While it’s primarily the Marine or Sailor’s responsibility to keep their family informed, I can provide resource information about various services and programs.
*Please ensure your Marine or Sailor lists you as an Authorized Contact in their MOL Family Readiness Tab. This allows me to give you specific information about training and deployment.
The Marine Corps defines “family” broadly, including anyone the Marine is born into, sworn into, or married into. Whether you are a spouse, parent, child, significant other, or extended family member, I am here to provide information, resources, and referrals.
Family readiness builds commitment, raises morale, and increases unit readiness. Your involvement is vital, whether as a spouse, parent, or other family member. We seek Family Readiness Assistant volunteers to welcome new families and provide input for our program’s growth. Volunteer opportunities include Family Days, New Join Briefs, and Spouse Socials.
Again, welcome to the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines family! We are better together, and I look forward to connecting with you as a valued member of our Family Readiness Team.
