Welcome to the MPCN Community! I've written this overview to help you quickly navigate to your group(s) and find the most recent discussions, or explore the discussion categories in the groups that interest you most at this stage of your Poolee, Recruit, Candidate, or Marine's career in the Corps. The first thing you'll need to do is join a group. Click on "Groups" in the main navigation to find the group that's right for you and your loved one's stage in the Marine Corps.
FINDING YOUR GROUP(S):
The main navigation of the website, MPCN: ConnectAndShare.com, is at the top, under our blue MPCN banner, between the two red lines. In that main navigation, mouse over "Groups" then tap or click "My Groups." When that page opens, tap on the icon for the group(s) in which you belong.
GROUP NAVIGATION:
Once inside the group, you'll see another row of navigation under the group banner and name. It's a row of grey-colored topics. This is the Group navigation. When you mouse over or tap the grey-colored text, it turns into red links with an underscore. Topics include: [Home] [Welcome] [Daily Posts] [Members], etc.
CHOOSE A TOPIC:
Click on one of the topics in that row; I prefer the "Daily Posts" option to view all the conversations. "Home" also includes the most recent discussions. "Welcome" is some basic information about the group, our 10 Guidelines, and your volunteer team.
CATEGORIES OF DISCUSSIONS:
After choosing "Daily Posts," you'll see all the most recent discussions for this group, along with another row of categories that appear as red links. If you prefer a specific category of discussions and articles, you can then click on a discussion category in the second row of red links. If you're using a cell phone, instead of red links, it's a drop-down menu that starts with "All Articles."

Here you can find your digital Marine Corps boot camp Matrix!
Built by a Marine recruit's dad: free bilingual dashboards for MCRD San Diego and Parris Island families. Graduation countdown, what your recruit is doing right now, Depot weather, and more. No app, no login, no ads. Your recruit can't call home from boot camp — but you no longer have to wonder. Recruit Mission Control is a free, bilingual (English/Español) dashboard built by a Marine recruit's dad for families at MCRD San Diego and MCRD Parris Island. Enter your recruit's graduation or ship date, and you get a live countdown to the big day, plus what recruits are most likely doing right at this moment — reveille, chow, the rifle range, the Crucible — with honest, reassuring explanations of what each one really is and how recruits remember feeling. There's the weather at the Depot, the training milestones ahead, even a Marine term of the day so you can learn the language of your Marine's new world. No app to install, no login, no ads, and no personal information collected — ever. It turns thirteen weeks of silence into a journey you can follow. Visit https://recruitmissioncontrol.com/ and pick your depot.

Hello, I was previously in the SD Delta group, grad date August 7. My grandson had since been moved to Mike, grad date August 21st. I am not seeing the join group banner for that group. Please advise.
