Motivation - Links

One of the things that I use to stay motivated is this computer. Misery loves company, and everybody needs a role model. I have found both company and role models on the Internet. The links on this page are sites that I visit when I need to remember that "Yes, I really want to do this and yes, I can do this." Happy surfing...











This is the home page of the original Marine Corps Recruit Depot. It's also the only Marine recruit depot that trains women - in other words, it's where I'll be going for my 13 week prison term next year. *smile*







The San Diego site is much larger and more in-depth than the Parris Island site. It has a very large image gallery and an exhaustive collection of detailed information on Recruit Training. If you can't find it on the PI site...look here.







This is the SemperToons site. It's a wonderful collection of funnies. If you've never looked at them, you have to visit the site and read a few. They're great.







This is "Gunny Tucker's Hard Corps Web Page." It has a lot of really cool stuff to read and look at. A really good place to go for leadership and NCO/SNCO Knowledge.






SGT. GRIT'S MARINE SPECIALTIES
Sgt. Grit's Marine Specialties is one of my very favorite motivational sites. This site has a lot of things for sale, but amongst the USMC merchandise, there are stories, jokes, and other good stuff to look at and read.






A FEW GOOD MEN & ME
This site is called "A Few Good Men & Me." It's a humorous collection of the personal recollections of a former Marine. I loved it.









I will add more links here as I come across new sites that strike me as funny or infomational or just plain interesting.
