For the last few months I've been piecing together a website to try and cover as much basic information about the Marine Corps as I can. It's mostly geared towards current Sgt's and below and to prospective Marines who just want to know more about us and our history before taking the dive.

I've put up a bunch of information so far, but now I'm trying to figure out what kind of information Marines (and poolees) want to know. I have plenty of free time after work and love maintaining stuff like this (I'm a nerdy air winger and former computer programmer, go figure). My friends and I have used this to help study for boards and tests and so far it's worked pretty well. I also posted earlier here when I made my own Composite Score calculator since we were fed up with the wrong numbers the one on MOL was spitting back.

The page is http://www.thesupermarine.com

If you guys have any suggestions post them here or use the Contact Me link on my website. I'd love any feedback!

Pretty good so far! If it was me I'd reorganize the links a little, but I spend way too much time on organization and not enough on content when I make webpages, so do as you will. :p

If you're looking for questions to answer, a lot of poolees and Marines alike would probably be interested in a quick breakdown of the tattoo policy. Could also throw in some information like common acronyms and unit heirarchy.

Ah, forgot all about that! Just filled it in a bit. If you want more, though, I've got a whole About Me page on my website!
