Overview

At thirty-nine, after nearly two decades of world-wandering freedom, Kath made her boldest move yet - she enlisted in the Army. And just like that, four years stretched ahead of her with no way out. One free spirit + four years of military discipline = recipe for chaos. Peace Signs to Dog Tags is the raw, honest, and often hilarious account of an unlikely warrior's journey through basic Army training at Kapooka. Though she was far from a conventional, textbook recruit, Kath proved everyone wrong about what makes a soldier. The Army recognised something in her that matched an old Japanese proverb: fall down seven times, get up eight. From caravan parks to military bases, this memoir chronicles the physical challenges, the epic failures, the unexpected victories, and the remarkable personal growth that come with starting over in your fourth decade. Kath learned to salute, to stand tall, and to find strength she never knew existed. For anyone who has ever wondered if they can handle a complete life transformation or if grit can overcome lack of natural ability, this story proves that yes, oftentimes, resilience surpasses perfection.
