I recieved the latest (Feb) Marine Corps Center For Lessons Learned (MCCLL) Newsletter but will no longer be able to post them to the Council as they are now FOUO (For Official Use Only). Moreover, there have been some changes at MCCLL concerning access to their site - as follows (bolded emphasis mine):

As of 18 January 2007 (in accordance with Department of Defense Instruction 8520.2, Marine Corps Order 5239.2, and MARADMIN Numbers 209/05, 155/06 and 581/06), the Marine Corps Center for Lessons Learned (MCCLL) website at http://www.mccll.usmc.mil has transitioned to 100% Consolidated Access Card (CAC) access.

As of that date, users are no longer able to logon to the site with their username and password. For legacy users of the system, a process has been implemented that associates a subscriber's legacy user profile with their CAC certificate the first time that they log in using their CAC. New registrants to the MCCLL website (using their CAC) will now have immediate access to the site after a very short registration process.

Subscribers who attempt to access the MCCLL without a CAC will receive a message indicating that CAC access is required. There is also no longer a requirement for a subscriber to provide a .mil or .gov email address during registration in order to have full access to the site. The fact that a .mil address is no longer necessary opens up the MCCLL website to all of our junior officer and enlisted Marines that have not been issued .mil email addresses due to the expense incurred under NMCI.

However, restricting access to CAC does place an additional burden on our Selected Marine Corps Reserve (SMCR) and Individual Mobilization Augmentee (IMA) Marines who do not have frequent access to a government computer with a CAC reader. These Marines will need to obtain a CAC reader, load their certificates, and begin using their CAC for access. Unfortunately, restricting access to CAC also essentially locks out our Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) Marines who are not issued Common Access Cards until they are activated.

We realize that this is a critical concern at a time when we are mobilizing IRR Marines for combat operations. IRR Marines generally require as much time as possible prior to activation to take advantage of the pre-deployment training systems that are provided to other Marines.

In addition, deployed Marine Corps units to Iraq and Afghanistan are not yet 100% CAC capable, although a push is underway to provide additional CAC readers in-theater. We apologize for any inconvenience resulting from this change, but in the current security environment, MCCLL had no choice…
Go figure - Marines at home, TAD, deployed or otherwise non-NMCI blessed are basically locked out of their own lessons learned system. What a shame as MCCLL under Col Monte Dunard had come such a long way since the old days. Dunard and folks have done a great job - and they deserve a big hat tip - obviously some 'powers-that-be' feel strongly that information not accessible to those that need it most is somehow a lesson learned. What a crock.
