Wit and Wisdom from America's Finest - Awesome Sh*t My Drill Sergeant Said

As a former Drill Sergeant and retired Soldier I appreciate the humor in this book. To the civilian with no military background initial military training is serious business with hours of repetition and can be quite boring to a trained Soldir conducting the training. The boredom is allayed by humor as described in this book.

Whether you suffered under the withering gaze of a Drill Sergeant or wore the "Round Brown" yourself (or both), this will bring back fond memories of getting smoked just because you drew a breath of the Drill Sergeant's air. As one who wore the hat for three years, this is a great book. It makes me wish I had thought of some of the things said to trainees.

I think this book was written primarily to create awareness and generate money for the authors charity to benefit at risk veterans - a cause which I wholeheartedly support. The format of the book, with large type and lots of what I can only describe as cartoons as page fillers, I think was done more to up the page count rather than to insult the reader. The content, will remind anyone that has been through boot camp, in any service, the remarkable job these people do in so short of time with generally good results. There are many amusing antidotes that anyone, military background or not, will enjoy, provided that they are not a prude about colorful language. A short read that might be best used as "throne time" reading.

Possibly the greatest book ever written. I'm a big fan of the Facebook page and have even submitted a story or two to the page. If you are currently serving or have served before, chances are that you can relate to a few stories in here.
