I spent a lot of years in the Marine Corps, but the most memorable portion was the 12 weeks of Basic Training, or Boot Camp. It may be the most memorable period of my life, and it is a period that changed me forever. Patrick Turley has written an immensely readable and affecting story of his own time in the hell of Marine Corps boot camp, and though our experiences there were decades apart, and many things were different, his story resonates intensely with me as I remember with fresh clarity the ordeal, the horror, the exhaustion, and the growing esprit de corps that changed me from a boy into a man. Turley's story is very personal and that lifts it above mere description. It's well worth reading. ( ) ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
"Welcome to Hell" the drill instructor announced to the small crowd of young men staring at him apprehensively, his words charging the atmosphere with a foreboding intensity. Three and one half months of hellish and seemingly outrageous demands would be made of those who would endure the journey through the fires of boot camp. These young men would find a pride in themselves that would last forever. Those survivors of boot camp training often look back, with a smile and even a laugh, at what they endured from the DI. Patrick Turley, driven to enlist by the events of 9/11, captures these anxious times perfectly in vivid detail establishing an emotional bond with the reader throughout his journey from man to Marine, and John Patrick Shanley said it only as a former Marine and Pulitzer Prize winner could: "It's great to have gone to Marine Corps boot camp. It's terrible to be in Marine Corps boot camp. It's fun to read about Marine Corps boot camp". Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
