He is now a regular 9 year old, some rough spots where we thought we were losing him but it looks like he won the battle. He took his last chemo on 9 Nov 2010 after 1169 days in treatment, 5 bone marrow scrapes, 23 spinal taps, thousands of chemo pills, hundreds of shots, mutliple emergency room runs.....
Now he is just a regular kid with regular issues. Next november if the is no relapse he will be catagorized as 85% cured.
The below link has pictures of his journey:

In the case of CCM6, it's actually entirely paid for by the Marine Corps. It can be given out freely to Marines, ciivilians, and contractors with no limit as to the number of machines it's running on simultaneously. However, recipients may not further redistribute their copy.
If you happen by the CAST, I could perhaps burn you a copy...

Need to clarify that; It can be freely given to Marine,civilians, and contractors that are in direct support of the Marine Corps.
It can not be passed out civilians and contractors that are not directly supporting the Marine Corps.
This was a licensing agreement that was driven by the game developers, not the Marine Corps. We placed it in the Gazette with permission from the developer. The Marines did not buy the code, the Marines do not own the game. The Marines bought distribution rights only. The Training Support Package that comes with the game is owned by the Marine Corps. |

@ Drill, we've designated it as Close Combat Marines 6, we are adding the 'version' to it.
@Schreck, the 'we' is Marine Corps Systems Command, Program Manager for Training Systems (PM TRASYS) and Training, Education Command (TECOM)......
Who else could the we be? |

Mooxe,
The Canadian Military is about to sign a contract with the Tactical Language people. They are getting Tactical Pashtu & Tactical Dari.
Additionally they are doing the same with VBS-2. We just did a contract with both companies to merge the language & culture into VBS-2, contractually we are calling it Automatic Language Training System (ALTS). Both companies are saying that every country with enterprise licenses will be able to get ALTS. |

We merged the AT and JTAC requirements into one product: Close Combat Marines 6.
We made that decision during the last I/ITSEC. |

That is good advice Nichols. In all honesty though I have been pirating
Windows and tons of other applications for so long... not to mention all the
copyright infringements going on at this site.. that I am really just not
worried about it. As much as I do respect any other military organization,
these scanned images are not worth going through the bureaucracy
and "Oh I better check with my superior" type stuff. It is better to act then
ask for forgiveness afterwards!
Do you forgive me?

Mooxe,
Once I submitted the cover and articles, I no longer owned the work. There's nothing for me to forgive. The Gazette's spin on this is:
The Marine Corps Association (MCA) archive is operated in conjunction with ProQuest Company and contains material which is derived in whole or in part from The Marine Corps Association (MCA) and other sources and is protected by international copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws.

I'm not sure why you don't want to get get permission from them or better yet just delete the jpgs.
The Windows pirating, I guess you'll have to take that up with Microsoft.
CC pirating, you'll have to take that up with Destineer since they own the IP. |

We're both right and wrong.
That was my last task on active duty and my first task when I started working on the civilian side of the house.
It is exclusively the Marine Corps.
Maj McBreen produced the initial modules and friendly scenarios for the third section of the workbook. I had to modify the modules and scenarios for multiplayer, create the opfor orders and create sections one and two in order to put it into a distance learning course for SSgts. |

Mooxe,
You should probably request permission form the Gazette to scan those into a public forum like this. They usually don't have a problem with it as long as you get permission.
Take a look at the CCM Workbook, specifically the orders format in the appendix. Even though I wrote the Workbook for a required USMC PME course, I still had to get permission from the Gazette to include it in the Workbook.
If I would have had a better visio program, the cover would have been better same goes for the TDG in the back.
I really wanted it represented as a cycle, same problem in the Workbook:
Mission-METL-CTS-ITS should have been cycle instead of linear. |

Sounds good, the support website is:
http://www.tacticallanguage.com
Click on the "demo" to get an idea of what the course is. In the meantime, pop an email address to me and I'll get you download authorization.
With the extension on your deploy date, you could take the Pashto and we'll have Dari completed.
There's a good chance that you might end up going to the USMC Mountain Warfare Training Center for ETT training. |

Mooxe,
We have a launguage trainer/sim that Canada is in the middle of getting. I can task the company to give you access to download the software.
Currently Tactical Pashto is complete.
We just started Tactical Dari. |
