Renaming of Personal Services Programs

1. THERE HAS BEEN CONSIDERABLE MISUNDERSTANDING 
AND CONFUSION ABOUT SUPPORT OR ACTIVITIES DELIVERED BY THE PERSONAL 
SERVICES COMPONENT OF MARINE CORPS COMMUNITY SERVICES (MCCS).
2. IN AN EFFORT TO BETTER DEFINE THE PROGRAMMING OFFERED BY MCCS
PERSONAL SERVICES, THAT NAME, AND THE NAME OF ONE OF ITS COMPONENTS
SHALL BE CHANGED TO MARINE AND FAMILY SERVICES, AND PERSONAL
READINESS AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT, RESPECTIVELY.
3. INSTALLATION COMMANDERS ARE REQUESTED TO SUPPORT ADJUSTMENTS OF
SIGNAGE TO REFLECT THE NAME CHANGES. 
4. THE COMPONENTS OF MARINE AND FAMILY SERVICES WILL REMAIN THE
SAME ORGANIZATIONALLY; COUNSELING SERVICES, CHILDREN YOUTH AND TEEN
PROGRAMS, LIFELONG LEARNING, AND PERSONAL READINESS AND COMMUNITY
SUPPORT. PERSONAL READINESS AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT INCLUDES THE
EXCEPTIONAL FAMILY MEMBER PROGRAM, THE FAMILY MEMBER EMPLOYMENT
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, THE PERSONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, THE
RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, THE TRANSITION ASSISTANCE MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM, THE RETIRED ACTIVITIES PROGRAM, THE VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR,
AND INFORMATION AND REFERRAL SERVICES.
