Overview
Contact / Hours:
Overview:
Family Readiness Program Training is centered primarily on the formal training required for the Unit, Personal and Deployment Readiness Program. Classes are available for family members interested in becoming more involved in their unit’s program as a volunteer and for active duty members serving in a supporting role of their unit’s program.
Additionally, we facilitate the formalized training for all of the Deployment Readiness Coordinators aboard Camp Pendleton, be it their role-specific certification or the unit website administrator’s workshops. These two courses are ONLY open to MCCS employees hired as Family Readiness Officers and Command Appointed Active Duty Members.
