Warrior Culture of the US Marines

One former Marine's take:


Warrior Culture of the U.S. Marines is the best summary of the culture of the Marine Corps I have seen in print. It's straightforward, honest, accurate and concise. It's an all inclusive overview that hits every important topic with no fluff in between. 

The text is written in a fashion that is both captivating and entertaining. There's no boring history here; this book will grab you with each page. From the birth of the Marine Corps and the Birthday Ball to the Mameluke Sword and the Blood Stripe, Sturkey leaves no aspect of the culture lacking.

It's true, there is much family and friends will never understand about their Marine's culture, but this book will get you about as close as you can get without stepping onto the yellow footprints yourself.

In addition to the moderated, OPSEC-compliant social media groups, chat rooms, and informative websites, several outreach programs to support Marines and families before, during and after the Marine Corps are provided by the organization.

In 2010, the production facility was established on-site to design and develop custom product, dramatically boosting sales and providing additional funding for the outreach programs.
