The Record Book is the official record of the Young Marine’s career with the Young Marines. It’s very important both parent and Young Marine become familiar with this record. In addition to your Young Marine record, there are other links to valuable information. The Unit Adjutant is responsible for maintaining the accuracy of each YM’s Record Book. Please keep in mind, we are a large unit and data is entered by hand. Be patient, and if you have questions, ask. Any questions should be directed to ADJ@LCYM.ORG.
When you log in, you land on your Adult Dashboard page. There, you will see:
The My Account section has:
- My Profile – Where you can update your parent information.
