Marine Corps COOL

The Marine Corps has a new website that defines civilian credentials that you may earn while in service.

Pretty interesting site. I looked up my MOS and the certifications it brought up are toward jobs usually reserved, almost exclusively, for SOF guys.

You guys are just now getting this? This has been around on our side for quite some time now.

This site is news to me. Great news. Any experienced users of COOL, anyone who has received a cert or job because of the guidance offered by it?

Mine was

Certified Close Protection Agent
Certified Protection Professional

At least it sounds more encouraging than Proof Director, Small Arms which for years was on just about every infantry DD-214.

Tradition can be both good and bad.
