    44_BL_033021 Motion for National Administrative Procedures Change 6 February 2021 Submitted by: S. C. O’Hara Commandant, John A. Lejeune Det. 332 References: 2019 National Bylaws as amended through this date. 2019 National Bylaws Chapter 5 Section 515. Categories of Membership Background for change The National Bylaws and Administrative Procedures currently allow for Regular Membership for FMF Corpsmen and Navy Chaplains who meet the service criteria for Regular Membership contained in Bylaws Paragraph 515 a. (2) or (3), and for Associate Membership for those who do not meet these qualifications. While the intent of this is plain, to welcome into our membership those non-Marine personnel who serve alongside us with such dedication, the language used omits some non-Marine personnel who do meet that intent. Objective of change Remove the restrictions of the original language describing qualified Navy personnel. For example, Medical Officers are not “Corpsmen” and do not strictly fall under the provision of Paragraph 515 a. (2); Religious Program Specialists are not “Chaplains” and so do not fall under the provision of Paragraph 515 a. (3). There are additional Navy and other service personnel which serve in Marine units (for example, Navy Master Divers) who qualify for their Service’s FMF Warfare Qualification or equivalent, yet who are blocked from Regular Membership by our current Bylaws language. Current Language: 2019 National Bylaws Chapter 5 Section 515. Categories of Membership Section 515. Categories of Membership a. Regular Membership. Only the following may be regular members of the MCL: (1) Marines who are serving or have served honorably* in the United States Marine Corps or the United States Marine Corps Reserve; (2) U.S.

  • Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
    Marine Toys for Tots Program Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) Local Toys for Tots Campaigns 2018 1 August 2018 Hello 2018 Local Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinators, Welcome to the 71st year of the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program! Whether you are a brand-new coordinator starting a new campaign, or a veteran coordinator with decades of service to this outstanding cause, it is a privilege to work with you bringing the joy of Christmas to millions of less fortunate children across our great Nation. The Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is a charity that is unmatched for many reasons. Its affiliation with the Marine Corps provides the entire organization, from small rural campaigns, to large metropolitan campaigns, and ultimately to the Foundation headquarters, the reputation that we not only do things right, we do the right things. The American public expects our Marine Corps not only to win our Nation’s battles, but to accomplish all its missions to the highest of standards. The American public has the same high expectation for the Marine Toys for Tots Program. This SOP, along with Marine Corps Order 5726.14F and Marine Forces Reserve Order (ForO) 5000-24.2, provide the policies and procedures to execute a successful campaign that the Marine Corps and American public will be proud of. There are several changes with the 2018 SOP which are more than can be listed in this introductory letter. I expect that each coordinator, both veteran LCOs with numerous years of service and first-year coordinators alike, to read and understand this document in its entirety.

    Marine Toys for Tots Program Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for Local Toys for Tots Campaigns 18251 Quantico Gateway Drive, Triangle, Virginia 22172 Phone: (703) 640-9433 Fax: (703) 649- 2054 2020 1 August 2020 Hello 2020 Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinators, Welcome to the 73d National Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Campaign! From a single Marine Corps Reserve unit in 1947 helping children in Los Angles, this is the 74th year that Marines and volunteers will give their time and energy to support less fortunate children. I look forward to another great year supporting you and your volunteer’s efforts bringing the joy of Christmas to millions of less fortunate children across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands.. This year, more than in previous years that our Program has been in existence, will prove to be a significant challenge. I am confident that as a team, we will be able to conquer that challenge and assist the millions of families that are still affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. America’s economy will continue to improve, but many families will not realize that improvement immediately. There will be more demand for our help, and we will meet that demand and accomplish the mission! The Marine Corps and the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation intend to continue our seven decade long history of collecting and distributing toys to less fortunate children during the 2020 holiday season, and we will do so in a deliberate, efficient, and safe manner. Please remember that the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is an official activity of the United States Marine Corps.

    Welcome Aboard! A Handbook for Members of the Department of Georgia Marine Corps League Revision Date: 17 May 2012 1 of 44 WHAT IS THE MARINE CORPS LEAGUE? The League is the only Federally Chartered, Marine Corps related veterans organization in the country. The League was organized by then-Commandant John A. LeJeune in 1923. In 1937, Congress nationally chartered the League. It is a not-for-profit organization within the provisions of the Internal Revenue Service Code 501(c) (4), with a special group exemption letter which allows for contributions to the Marine Corps League, its Auxiliary and subsidiary units, to be tax deductible by the donor. The League is presided over by an elected Commandant and officers, with a full- time Executive Director and staff located in Virginia.
