As long as people use it, then it will have value. But there will always be that "one person" that will play the "duh" card.

Thank you for the comment!

We couldn't agree more, there's always one. That's why we are working hard to make a resource for all Marines and corpsmen to use.

How can we make the toolkit better? Any suggestions are welcomed sir.

Sgt Michael Penney - I am not sure if the Marines have something similar, but the Army has what is called AKO (Army Knowledge Online). This site allows us to track all kinds of things from clothing record to medical readiness. I would recommend having that particular online regulation(s) accessible from that (if you have something similar). And of course, trying to ensure that all Marine commands push that info out to their Marines.

Aren't uniform regs covered in the Guidebook for Marines?

This is only a fraction of our mission. We support future generations of Marines with helpful insights on how to navigate their career path and life in the Corps.

Is there anything we could do better? I welcome any thoughts or suggestions you may have.

Couldn't hurt, younger generations seem to be more tech savvy then some of us old-farts and anything that they can reference to ensure they are in compliance with regs and can assist them in making sure they are G-to-G is a good thing to have in their "tool-kit".

Thank you for the comment sir! We appreciate the positive feedback.

Is there anything else that we should do to help Marines and corpsmen along their respective career paths? How can we improve the site to better serve those in uniform?
