Informed Families Support Focused Challengers.

The Family Readiness Group connects enrolled families with announcements, practical preparation guidance and experienced XMC parents. It supports families before, during and after training.

How to Join.

Use the access instructions in your enrollment confirmation email. The public Facebook page is separate from the enrolled-family community. Private group announcements are not published in the public homepage feed.

Where to Find the Right Answer.

Begin with the current Parents’ Guide and CampMinder tasks. The group can help explain common preparation questions, program routines and family events. Personal medical, religious or financial matters belong with Admissions.

XMC FAMILY RESOURCES

Families Help Carry the Traditions.

Independence Day

Our Family Readiness Group raises funds for the Independence Day fireworks celebration. Parents, alumni and families of Cadets who have aged out help make the day special.

A Family for Every Challenger

Families can help “tap out” Challengers whose own family cannot attend Friends and Family Night. Approved Battle Buddy furlough arrangements follow the Parents’ Guide and our release procedures.

The Challengers’ Feast

Parent volunteers organize this donation-supported celebration after the Gauntlet, on the Thursday before CFLC graduation. All Cadets may attend; Recruits may not. Watch enrolled-family announcements for donation needs and volunteer arrangements, and read the Feast participation and command-approval details ↗.

Experienced Parents, Practical Help

Our experienced parents help new families understand the Parents’ Guide, prepare carefully and stay connected through training.
