GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. IN CELEBRATION OF THE 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE SINGLE MARINE PROGRAM (SMP), AN INAUGURAL SMP DAY OF SERVICE IS SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY, 22 APRIL 2015. ALL MARINE CORPS INSTALLATION’S SMP MAY HAVE A COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT PLANNED FOR THIS DAY. ALL COMMANDS ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE, WITH THE EMPHASIS ON SINGLE MARINES BEING ALLOWED THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS INITIATIVE.
2. THE MONTH OF APRIL IS DESIGNATED AS THE MONTH OF VOLUNTEERISM. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IS ONE OF THE THREE OMPONENTS OF SMP; ALL COMMANDERS ARE REQUESTED TO SUPPORT THIS ENDEAVOR. SINGLE MARINES AND SAILORS HAVE GIVEN COUNTLESS HOURS TO THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES EACH YEAR. THE EFFORT TO CONTINUE THIS CAPABILITY DURING THE 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION, BENEFITS BOTH THE MARINE CORPS AND THE COMMUNITY ADJACENT TO MARINE CORPS INSTALLATIONS.
3. THE INAUGURAL SMP DAY OF SERVICE LOCATIONS ACROSS THE MARINE CORPS CAN BE ON OR OFF INSTALLATION, AS MARINES HISTORICALLY GIVE BACK TO THEIR VARIOUS COMMUNITIES. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING A SPECIFIC INSTALLATION, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SMP COORDINATOR.
