5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent compilation of information, January 16, 2002

By 

Robert Harris (Marietta, GA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Marines - USMC manuals on CD-ROM (CD-ROM)

This is the most comprehensive volume of information I have found on manuals for the Corps. Most of the information on the CD is useful regardless of if you are a Marine or not. It contains 23 full manuals. They all appear to be the most current versions. A couple of the manuals are grainy (from older manuals), but all are perfectly readable. I would not hesitate to buy this CD again-I wish I had years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of Bang for your Buck, April 17, 2006

If you were ever curious about the training these guys go through, look no further. These guys are professionals. As far as other comments, some must have outdated software, as I had no problem pulling up both the titles and FM/TM numbers. I will admit the packaging leaves something to be desired, but you could always do what I did: Go down to Staples or some other office supply store and for a few bucks, get yourself some durable generic DvD cases. I wouldn't worry about anyone reading this because one only has to look at the attrition rates at these types of schools to guess how difficult the training is. Once again, if you are curious, you can't go wrong. You get a lot of Bang for your Buck.

4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding content, but..., April 15, 2005

By 

Jack Dempsey (South Miami Beach, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Marines - USMC manuals on CD-ROM (CD-ROM)

Ten stars for content, no doubts about it. But what the problem here is packaging. See the picture up there? Forget it. What you get is a plain, white cardboard envelope, with a BURNED/copied disc inside. No info, no guidance, nothing. I don't know what kind of operation "APPLE-PIE" is running, but it must be on a shoestring. Which is surprising given the price being charged for the disc.

Outside of the suspect nature of it, it's invaluable. Some of this I had courtesy of the USMC and OCS, other info is just absolutely overwhelming in breadth and scope. So, for the value of info, it's priceless.

All in all, a great deal, just know what you're in for. I was only prompted to write a review of this based on what was delivered to me. Beyond that, the content is hands-down ten-star material.
