Cpl. William Arduino, the training noncommissioned officer with U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific and Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., native, works on an activity during the Corporals for Financial Fitness Program class in classroom G of building 220 in the Education Center, July 23, 2015. The two-day class is held semi-annually aboard Marine Corps Base Hawaii, and is taught by the Personal Financial Management Program staff. The Marine Corps version of the Million Dollar Sailor Program, the course was established by Headquarters Marine Corps last year, and Marine Corps Order 1700.37 outlines the eligibility requirements for the class. Materials will be provided for this hands-on class, including colorful “fidgeting” toys, which aid in kinesthetic learning, a type of learning gained through physical activity. Marines are asked to bring their financial paperwork, such as their leave and earnings statement, and their bank statements. Among the requirements, students must undergo an interview with a PFMP staff member, be endorsed by their command and meet Marine Corps physical fitness standards. Jacqueline Walker, the PFMP manager, said the purpose of the class is to prepare corporals for “financial readiness” and to support their fellow Marines in the same. The mission of Marine Corps Base Hawaii provides facilities, programs and services in direct support of units, individuals and families in order to enhance and sustain combat readiness for all operating forces and tenant organizations aboard the installation.
