Joining the Forum as the Director of the Marine Corps Professional Reading Program. The Professional Reading Program web site is at http://www.mcu.usmc.mil/ProDev/ProfReadingPgm.htm

As Colonel Keenan remarked in his editorial "Reading is Fundamental" - "If you lead Marines, you need to be a Fox Conner" - meaning you not only need to get those you lead to read, you owe them the opportunity to discuss what they read.

The Professional Reading Program web site is intended to save leaders that most precious commodity - time. The ultimate objective is to have a discussion guide for every book on the list. These guides aren't intended to be substitutes for reading, merely a starting point for guided discussion leader's preparation. While we get our web site squared away, we're sharing our discussion guides with Gazette. If you want to get in on this effort,
welcome aboard. You can use our template at the web site or create your own. Semper Fidelis,
Sean Griffin
