Welcome to 3d Medical Battalion, 3D Marine Logistics Group!


First, I’d like to properly introduce myself. My name is Larry Borum and I am the Deployment Readiness Coordinator, formerly known as the Family Readiness Officer for 3d Medical Battalion. My job here at the battalion is to ensure a smooth transition for the Marines and Sailors as well as their families, by providing timely communication, readiness, and deployment support, in addition to information and resource referral. Anything that you would like to know about the Unit, Personal, and Family Readiness Program (UPFRP) in general and what it can do for you and your family specifically, you need only ask. I am essentially your resources kiosk. If you need information about finding a job, things to do on the island, getting into school, Marine Corps / Navy Family Team Building programs etc., my office is a good place to begin your quest. The goal for our UPFRP is to provide the tools that foster independent dependents. With that in mind, we offer:


• Monthly spouse-led workshops as part of our Lunch & Learn series. These workshops are geared towards educating spouses of available resources.
• Semi-annual social events designed to help supplement your support networks.
• Quarterly volunteer opportunities within the Okinawa community to help make this a uniquely memorable duty station.


Here at 3d Medical Battalion, we strongly believe in becoming familiar with your resources before you need them. Our unique position in the Marine Corps requires us to be at optimal levels of readiness. That includes ensuring the proper welfare of the families, and it starts with service members completing their Contact Authorization Form, updating their Marine Online Family Readiness Contacts, and for those with dependents, creating an executable Family Care Plan. I can assist with information for all of the above.
Marine Corps life has its challenges and my intent is to alleviate some of those hardships by facilitating knowledge to Marines, Sailors, parents, siblings, and dependents. Here at 3d Medical Battalion we pride ourselves on our strong sense of family and community values. We hope that your time here on Okinawa will produce long-lasting friendships and many fond memories. Again, welcome to our family!


Warmest Regards,

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DID 988 IMPACT THE VETERANS CRISIS LINE?

The 988 expansion directly addressed the need for ease of access and clarity in times of crisis, both for Veterans and non-Veterans alike.

HAVE 988 PERSONNEL BEEN TRAINED SPECIFICALLY FOR VETERANS?

Veterans Crisis Line responders are continuing to support Veterans, service members, and their families via 988. Responders are trained in crisis intervention and military culture.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN VETERANS PRESS 1?

To reach the Veterans Crisis Line, Veterans need to Press 1 after dialing 988. Veterans and service members who Press 1 are routed to the same trained Veterans Crisis Line responders, 24/7. The Veterans Crisis Line is also available by chat (VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat) and text (838255). The Veterans Crisis Line’s 800 number remains operational for anyone utilizing the 10-digit number option.

IS THE VETERANS CRISIS LINE TEXT NUMBER CHANGING?

The Veterans Crisis Line is evaluating a new text option for Veterans and their supporters to reach caring, qualified responders 24/7. Upon activation, Veterans will still be able to text via 838255.

WHAT HAPPENS TO VETERANS OVERSEAS?

The Veterans Crisis Line’s 800 number is partnered with SAMHSA’s Lifeline network and is, therefore, a Continental United States (CONUS)-based toll-free number that remains active. As such, some international calls may incur a charge, depending upon the caller’s location and network provider. Nonetheless, a Veteran overseas may contact the Veterans Crisis Line via the chat modality at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat. If the Veteran prefers a phone call, they can request this within the chat venue. A Veterans Crisis Line responder will call them at the number they provide at no charge to the Veteran.
