Marine Reconnaissance Foundation

MRF Athletics Program Marine Reconnaissance Foundation Athletics Program athletes representing the Reconnaissance community and the Foundation!  The purpose of the program is to promote a healthy lifestyle through athletics, sports and competition, in the hopes that we can provide a healthy outlet for our teammates whom are suffering, or those that would like to compete athletically and represent our Nation, the Marine Corps and the Reconnaissance Community. In addition to promoting a healthy and competitive lifestyle, each and every day we fight against the scourge of Post Traumatic Stress from combat and the symptoms of substance abuse, depression, anger and suicide.  The MRF Athletics Program is one of our deliberate programs that is a tool in that fight. The program is subcategorized into: 1. Endurance (running, cycling, triathlon, etc) 2. Combatives (MMA, boxing, jujitsu, judo, etc) 3. Strength (powerlifting, bodybuilding, CrossFit, etc) 4. Extreme Sports (Skydiving, BASE jumping, car/motorcycle racing, etc) 5. Shooting/Tactical (pistol, rifle, sniper, etc) We continue to welcome athletes into our MRF Team Program and MRF Ambassador Program who align with our mission and goals. Interested athletes should email Athletics@reconfoundation.org to complete the MRF Athletics application and join the Team!

Places like AP Hill, Lochness and Trumbo Annex will live on in Recon lore…. Some of our Nations finest warriors were forged here. @recontrainingcompany Marine Reconnaissance Foundation #marinereconfoundation #reconfoundation Marine Reconnaissance Foundation

On December 9th, 1999 we lost seven teammates from 1st Force Recon Co., VMM 166 and the EOD Det. This year, twenty four years later, we were honored to host most of our fallen teammates families during the 5th Annual Marine Recon Foundation Gold Star Family Retreat in April/May 2024 beginning in California and ending in Hawaii. We will honor our fallen and we will love their families. We will never forget: Jeff Starling Mark Baca Jay Asis Vincent Sabasteanski David Galloway James Paige William Dame Never above you Never below you Always by your side

Every Reconnaissance Marine and Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman remembers where they were at and what they were doing the day that we lost our brothers on December 9th, 1999.

Marine Reconnaissance Foundation 2nd Annual Warrior Classic Marine Corps Birthday Ball. It was an amazing night with teammates, families and generous fellow Americans celebrating the Marine Corps 249th birthday and who also support the Reconnaissance Foundation mission and programs. This event is also one of our capstone fundraising events to set conditions for calendar year 2025. It was a smashing success. Thank you to all of our sponsors for your continued support! This event will set conditions for calendar year 2025 programs that support our Marines, Sailors and our families! A huge thanks to our brother Noah for the photo & video work! @mitchell defense @watchtower_firearms @x2devgroup @koolaudistillery @brotherrecon @sofletehq @parkeruniversity @alphalogisticsinc @dfwsafe @vortexoptics @national.hockey @airpower_foundation @prime_well_solutions @txapowersports @battlespringsranch @snsgeneralcontracting @missionfirsttacical @longhornammunition @tourprovengolf @swisspl_custom_watches @marthasmexicancocina @1110gear @appolaperformance @blackdiamondmetalworx @theinvictaproject @weareriton @crc @tribe&trustleadershipacademy @hiddencovepark @caymenecoadventures @core_cryotherapy @duffsfinejewelry_keller Ashby Family Glister Family Reynolds Family @underarmorsports @k5armsechange Loffland Family Marine Reconnaissance Foundation Marine Reconnaissance Foundation Athletics @reconfoundationathletics #reconfoundation #marinereconfoundation #Happybirthdaymarines #249 #unitedstatesmarinecorps
