Single Marine Program

The Marine Corps conducted a Quality of Life study in 1993. Results showed that 43% of young, single Marines were dissatisfied with their overall quality of life, and with leisure activities that were available to them. Because such dissatisfaction negatively affects all areas of life-including retention, job performance, and personal readiness--the Marine Corps established the Single Marine Program in 1995.

Now The Single Marine Program exists to improve the Quality of Life for Single Marines and Sailors aboard MCAS Yuma. We focus on the young, single, enlisted Marine or Sailor, although we also welcome geographical bachelors, single parents, and single officers. SMP activities are open to all authorized MCCS patrons.
The program includes: enhancing recreational opportunities, encouraging community involvement, building life skills and developing healthy lifestyles.
