• Video Gaming Center [to include 2 Xbox 360's, 2 Playstation 3's, AND a Wii!]
• Large screen TV movie theater
• Pool table
• Ping Pong table

• Air Hockey
• Ping Pong table
• Board Game Area

The center serves as a great place to relax or socialize with your comrades.

Membership

Membership isn't required to join and all single, unaccompanied Marines and Sailors are automatically included. The primary target market are the 17- to 25- year-old Marines residing in the barracks. The program relies on the ideas, issues, and concerns of Marines for its success.

Benefits of the Program

The Single Marine Program [SMP] was established for Marines to identify concerns on quality of life [QOL] issues and other aspects of their lives.

The program encourages single Marines to provide input and ideas toward programming for the SMP component areas:

• Community Involvement
• Life Skills
• Health and Wellness
• Recreation
• Career Progression

Structure and Function

Motivated single Marines, a supportive command and Marine Corps Community Services [MCCS] staff provide the foundation for a successful program. The Executive Council helps in the direction of the program and is comprised of unit representatives throughout the command. These Marines are elected to the following leadership positions: president, vice president, recorder, and treasurer [optional]. MWTC’s sergeant major serves as senior enlisted advisor to the council and keeps the commanding officer abreast of plans, programming, and issue resolution, while the SMP coordinator provides support and guidance to council membership.

How SMP Works

The representatives meet to identify and address issues affecting QOL for single Marines. These issues are then submitted to the proper agency for resolution.
Minutes from each meeting are distributed to the council and the installation sergeant major to keep the command informed on plans, programming and resolution of issues.
