The Marine must also bring that paperwork if coming from overseas and had a vehicle stored in a VPC. If you are reporting in during working hours (0730-1630), you must check in wearing service alphas to Marine Corps Detachment, 14813 Leatherneck Drive, Fort Leonard Wood, MO 65473, S-1 [POC: (573) 337-9853].

Marriage Packages:

Marines must bring the following: marriage certificate, spouse’s social security card, spouse’s birth certificate, and spouse’s identification card.
