all the service branches have a manual that thay receive in boot camp. for instance the navy has the blue jackets manual.i would bet you could find the marines manual at maby the library. if not maby if you ask the librarian she may be able to tell you were it can be found.if you can get ya hands on it its probably the only book you will need.good luck I'm proud of you...( samper fidelis) <.. always faithful
