Summary of this Book...
A no BS look at the hard-charging, all-go-no-quit life on Parris Island. The author follows a platoon from the yellow footprints all the way to Graduation and follows up on life as the Marines live in the Corps.
This type of Book is good for...
Folks who have kids leaving or going through recruit training. Wives who want to understand why their husbands are the way they are after recruit training, or just people who want a real-life look at what it takes to be the best
I especially liked...
The way the author compares Army Basic and Marine Corps Boot he actually interviews people in charge on both sides. he also gives you the history of Marine Corps recruit training and shows you how it transformed over the years.
I don't recommend this Book because...
People need to understand the things that Marines endure just to lay their lives on the line for this country
