This is not your usual tale of blood, guts, and heroism. There are no claims in the pages of this book that I have killed 2,000 or more enemy scum with my bare hands. Keep browsing if this is what you are seeking. If you want a true insider's view of life as a Soldier in the U.S. Army, this is it! Myles C. Page lived the soldier life for 12 years at Fort Polk Louisiana, Fort Drum New York, along with four tours in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. Myles doesn't pull any punches in his stories (keep out of reach of children). This book can be used as a "how to" ("or how not to") for any person thinking of signing that dotted line, raising his or her right hand and answering the call to serve. There is gutter talk all throughout this book, so if you can be easily offended by foul language please don't bother picking this up.
