I am trying to find out if the marine corps cpl course will count or is equivalant to pldc

not 100% sure, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't count...we had a sgt who was a marine and i believe he still had to go to warrior leaders course (WLC)...its not called pldc anymore...

found an official answer for ya:
