On behalf of the Commanding Officer, Colonel Douglas Burke, and the rest of the Family Readiness Command Team, I would like to welcome you to Combat Logistics Regiment 37. My name is Kristine Neely, and I am honored to serve the Marines, Sailors, and their families as this Regiment’s Deployment Readiness Coordinator (DRC).
There are many challenges in today’s Marine Corps, and adapting to a military lifestyle can be rewarding as well as stressful. As the DRC, my goal is to support the Unit, Personal and Family Readiness Program that connects our service members and families and provides education and access to numerous resources that will support you in the exciting days ahead. This will be done via regular communication including emails and newsletters regarding the latest news and services, education, training and social events. Through these opportunities, we will build a strong sense of community and enhance the lives of all members of the CLR 37 family. Okinawa is a beautiful island with many great once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, however, living here has unique challenges. I have lived in Okinawa for a total of over five years, so I understand many of these challenges. I hope you’ll consider me as one of many resources available to you on island. Please don’t hesitate to contact me via phone/email/text, or feel free stop by my office for a chat.
Also, we are always seeking family members who wish to volunteer in support of our Marines and Sailors and hope you will consider being a part of our Family Readiness Team. If you would like to get involved or have any questions, please feel free to call me at 080-8590-6950 or e-mail at kristine.neely@usmc.mil .
Again, welcome to the Combat Logistics Regiment 37 family. I look forward to serving you in the future.
Kind Regards,
Kristine Neely
Combat Logistics Regiment 37
Deployment Readiness Coordinator
