Overview

A Soldier's Quest and His Journey Getting There. The memoir covers forty-five years of the author's life in military uniform. He starts out by reliving his experience in a ROTC class at Brandon High School, where he first embraced the meaning of structure. He then takes the reader through twenty-seven years of his detailed Army life, where they will experience exhilarating highs and the depressing lows of basic training. The reader will learn what life was like living in a post-Vietnam era barrack, being faced daily with alcohol, drugs, and loan sharks. They will then follow the author through his transition into a more professional Army, one that molded him into who he is today. He will take the reader into extreme weather environments and over unimagined terrain, where they will experience the frozen tundra of Alaska, the triple canopy jungle of Panama, and the unforgiving heat of the Iraqi desert. This book will place you, the reader, in the center of combat, having your heart to pump with fear as rounds from the machine guns of friendly and foe fill the night skies as the whisk passes your ears. In conclusion, you will learn of the author's uncertain transition back into the reality of the civilian world of JROTC (this time as an instructor [teacher]); his many classroom antics, training, and leadership decisions will cause you to either sigh, wonder, or rejoice.
