MCEN-N Shared Drive Migration / Deactivation

On Feb. 2, 2025, all shared drives will be configured for read-only access.  In May 2025, the data on those drives marked read-only will be deleted.  If you have data that cannot be moved to SharePoint Online, please contact your local Information Services

Fuels Department Temporary Shutdown

On Jan. 31, 2025 MCAS Cherry Point Fuels Department will be conducting a temporary shutdown of services at the self-service fuel farm on Curtis Street from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. in support of the ongoing construction project. Operators who may require fuel for vehicles are strongly encouraged to attain fuel prior to the shutdown. For emergency services support please contact the Fuel Department dispatch at 252-466-4070.

Prescribed Burn Notice

The Environmental Affairs Department, Natural Resources Division, along with the Cherry Point Fire Department, will begin our prescribed burning season this month. Prescribed burning is vital for many reasons: reduction of fuels to mitigate potential wildfires, promotion of fire-dependent plants that thrive after fire, creating new growth for wildlife, and enhancing training areas for our Marines and Sailors. Please avoid the areas specified to the maximum extent practicable to ensure your safety and the safety of the fire crew. Prescribed burns will be scheduled when the appropriate weather and resources permit, and to minimize impacts to operations.  Fire engines and suppression equipment will be on standby during any fire activities.  

Budget for Baby Class

The next class will be Feb. 7 and Feb. 21 from 10-11:30 a.m. Please utilize this link to register for an upcoming 2025 class: https://forms.office.com/r/5NNRZTYfr7 or call o252-466-2031.

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT (JAN. 23, 2025)

Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point remains in Winter Storm Condition Recovery+, since 8 a.m., Jan. 22, 2025. Installation leaders and officials are managing the impacts of the weather event. Essential personnel continue to work to restore the installation to normal operations, ensuring the safety of roadways, and are focusing clearing operations of roads, parking lots and the airfield.

The installation will be open for essential personnel and mission-essential operations Friday. Leaders advise that weather-related risks on roadways remain, and personnel and residents should limit movement until an all-clear determination is made for the installation. All personnel are responsible for contacting their immediate supervisor or chain of command for specific guidance and accountability.

• MCCS Cherry Point personnel are working to restore services. Visit https://cherrypoint.usmc-mccs.org/about/weather-related-closings for an update of its service closures.
