There are many challenges related to being a military parent. This is a small, group-based class offered to parents at any stage of pregnancy. We recommend to take it earlier rather than later in the pregnancy, as we cover Marine Corps policies related to becoming a parent—housing information, legal requirements, community resources, leave policy, on-island child care options, DEERS, and other family readiness issues.
