The CD you sent me arrived
yesterday and it is great!
There's a lot of excellent
stuff there. I am amazed that so much of this information is unclassified.
There seems to be a pretty good cross-section of the field, with everything
from personal training and skills to squad, platoon, company, and
even "Echelons Above Corps" doctrine. Infantry, armor, artillery,
engineering, aviation, and logistics are represented. I noticed your
annotation in one of the manuals, warning about typos you had detected
in the source material. This is a nice "value add" to the
original manual. The best thing about MRLV1 is that it brings together
a big selection of manuals that I otherwise wouldn't have access to,
in a convenient and reasonably priced format. It sure beats downloading
them from the slow, balky official web sites.
Outstanding work. I'll be
proud to make presents of the extras I ordered. I have had a chance
to take a quick peek at my new CD. Thanks for doing such a fine job,
Major, I'm impressed if not surprised. I note that one of the gift
copies of MRLV1 I ordered is for a friend who ordered a CD from an
armchair commando supply sort of place, and we were disappointed in
it. I don't think he'll be disappointed with MRLV1.
I own a couple of CDs containing
US Army FMs. I thought it might be useful to compare your CD with
these efforts. Compared to your "cleaned-up" version, they
were very hard to work with. Your CD master index, with the short
publication descriptions, topic and alpha index, was also far superior
to the other two examples.
I received my CD late last
week, and I've had a bit of time to go browsing. A few early impressions.
Overall: it's excellent. I've run the CD on a PowerBook 1400cs/133
w/ 32mb and a PII 233 w/ 64mb, and the pages load up quickly. Readability
is fine, even on my laptop screen at 100%, but quite good on a 17".
As for the manuals themselves, there's a heap of cool stuff. I've
spent a lot of time looking at the Cav manuals, and some of the helo
ops material. The selections seem to cover most of the areas I'm interested
in so far. The table-of-contents and indexing seems to work fine,
with a TOC for the
It's an outstanding resource
and a great value for the money.
Ive enjoyed the product
immensely and I wish you every success with it. If you are contemplating
a second volume, I, for one, would be most interested.
I received my copy of "Military
Reference Library Vol: U.S. Field Manuals" in the mail today
and am delighted with the product.
I've only had a chance to
do a bit of "sniffing around" on the CD, but I'm very pleased
with the product. I hope you get sufficient response to this to put
together further volumes in the series! If you do, mark me down as
an automatic subscriber.
I have thoroughly enjoyed
the CD. For me, the Patriot Battery manual and the various intelligence
field manuals were the most interesting. The manuals are presented
in a nicely formatted and organized style. If you do any more CD's
I'll be a customer for sure.
I recieved the CD earlier
in the week, and I must say, I am very impressed. I'll be taking the
CD with me on my next training weekend.
I just wanted to say that
I'm really pleased with it and hope that you have more projects like
that in the works.
