My Marine was injured or became ill while on leave. Where does s/he get medical care?
While on leave, if your Marine does sustain an injury or need medical attention, s/he should contact your local recruiting office or Marine Corps establishment. S/he should bring his/her medical record and ID card, and they will assist you in getting medical attention. If it is an emergency, go to the nearest hospital, and the cost will be taken care of at a later date. If it is a serious injury that prevents you from reporting to SOI on time, contact the Student Administration Company. What if there is a family emergency? A request for a leave extension should only be made in the event of serious personal or family emergency which would require your Marine’s continued presence. If a serious personal or family emergency exists, YOUR MARINE* should contact the local American Red Cross and request that they verify the emergency and the need for his/her presence. They will assist your Marine in sending a Red Cross message to his/her new Commanding Officer at SOI. An example of a Red Cross
