Life in the military is unlike any other way of life. Where else are people collected from every corner of the nation, from every race and religion, from every socio-economic class and welded into a force that subordinates its own safety and self-interest to defend this country? Where else does this level of diversity form bonds of loyalty and comradeship that are stronger than the bonds of familial blood? In this collection of autobiographical stories covering a twenty-three-year army career, the author taps into the humor, sadness, joy, comradeship and adventure of army life.
