The SMP shall assist the Corps and Command in improving total force readiness, job performance, and retention by contributing to the improvement of Quality Of Life for all single Marines.

The Single Marine Program is intended to enhance the morale and well being of single Marines. It supports the command by identifying QOL concerns and by providing recommendations for improvement.

QOL includes all activities and issues that influence:

• Morale
• Living Environment
• Personal Growth and Development

In keeping with Marine Corps tradition, the responsibility and leadership opportunities offered to Marines are extended to those who makeup the largest percentage of the Marine Corps.

The Single Marine Program (SMP) was established to provide a forum for Marines to identify quality of life ideas and issues and recommend solutions, after all change starts from the bottom up. Through participation in the planning and coordination of programs and activities Marines have a direct influence in their execution.

Activities and events are as varied as the single Marines the program serves, because it belongs to the Marines. Activities typically fall under one of 5 program components: recreation, life skills, career progression, health and wellness, and community involvement. Single Marines contribute tens of thousands of community service hours each year.
