The Scoop Sheet

All the word that is fit to print.

It's been awhile since I posted here. Life has continued to move onward and upward.

I'm no longer working on a book on "How to Succeed As A US Marine". Sometime down the road I might be able to return to it and give it the time it requires. But to be honest, I can discuss success in a way that is relevent to a broader audience. So instead of a book I am writing a series of leadership articles.

For now, please see my free articles on initially "Joining the Marines". Keep an eye on this space for the announcement when the book goes live.

Finally, since nothing improves without feedback, please tell me what you think by signing my guestbook.

I wish you all Fair Winds and Following Seas

    Wonderful stuff! I am thrilled that there is someone like you here that has that information, just wish my son had someone to talk to about his contract before signing. I just finished my first lens (Parent of a Marine) and would like to lensroll with you. I am searching for groups ie: military-new recruits-parents of 18-25 yr olds. Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated. Thanks for all your knowledge on this AWESOME page.
