After experiencing stress, trauma, or changes in mood... sleep or behavior can feel confusing.

These reactions are often tied to the brain’s effort to stay alert and protect against future harm. Understanding this helps reduce stigma and encourages early support.

MCCS Counseling services, Military OneSource, and the Veterans Crisis Line are available to support Marines and families.

Mental readiness is part of mission readiness. Learn more:

Post-traumatic stress or PTS is a normal, often temporary reaction to trauma, characterized by heightened stress and anxiety that typically subsides over time. Recognizing the signs of post-traumatic stress is the first step and a sign of strength.

Some of the strongest leadership happens on a youth soccer field.

Military kids move.
They adapt. ↪️
They restart. 🔁
They keep pushing forward. ➡️

Now, if that isn’t motivating enough to be a coach that shows up, we don’t know what is. Volunteering with Youth Sports is more than the sport; it’s about resilience, confidence building, teamwork models, and, ultimately, strengthening the community.

Share this with someone who would be a great coach! Details: http://ms.spr.ly/6186QflYY

Support military children by volunteering with WARR-Semper Fit youth sports. Coaches and mentors help build skills, teamwork, and resilience.

Long weekends. Lake days. Beach trips. BBQ grill days. Summer’s earned. Guard your progress, don’t let one careless moment undo a good day.

A few solid reminders:
• Hydrate early (not just when you’re overheated) 💦
• Be smart about alcohol in extreme heat ☀️
• Skip drinking when swimming or boating 🛥️
• Wear a life jacket every time (yes, even if you know how to swim!) 🦺
• Use the buddy system 👥
• Check the forecast ⛈️

Alcohol slows reaction time and judgement, and heat can make it worse. Water doesn’t give second chances. Look out for each other.
It’s not just an on-duty thing. It’s a life thing.

Have fun, be smart, stay ready.
