Summary: What Is Tere to Say
Review: I first read this book in 1981 when I joined the corps. I have been out for 13 years and am reinlisting in the Marine Corps Reserves. I purschased this book from the MCA as a refresher since my original copy was lost in a fire. The information is as outstanding as I remember. Not only a book of information, but a sacred text.

Summary: A civilian's point of view -- good read!
Review: I picked this book up second-hand and have found it to be an extremely facinating and informative read. I'm a military brat and naturally find this kind of thing interesting, but I honestly think this book has something to offer for non-military types.History buffs will like the history of the Marine Corps that is detailed in it. Outdoorsman/Boy Scouts/etc will find educational material within: instructions on field first aid, orienteering, and field sanitation, among other things. Military or weapons buffs will find complete descriptions and instructions for using and caring for the M-16A2, M-60, M249, and more. Hand to hand combat, anti-armor weapons, mines, explosives, chemical warfare, etc., are also discussed. The purely curious should find the whole book a great read. If you're thinking of joining the Marine Corps, or can use, or are interested in this kind of information, this book is worth the money.

Summary: Essential Subjects
Review: While many of the chapters contain information that will never change this 20-year-old edition is very outdated for anyone who may be or planning on eing a Marine. There are more recent issues of the guidebook that should be offered as replacements for this antiquated issue.
