CGE Student Review

The Marine Corps is the coolest book ever by John Hamilton. This is all about army stuff. The author's writing style is mostly about training in the Marines. My favorite characters are all the characters because they are Marines who support our country. This book is mostly about awesome military training. It is full of huge obstacles. The weapons are pretty awesome. The Marines were awesome in the Vietnam War. They were part of the first U.S. combat units deployed. That is so cool. We have the most powerful forces in the world. Do you want to know the ending? Well you will have to read the book. If you like Marine training then this is the book for you. I love the book because it is amazing to me how they handle all that training.
