This memoir captures the military experience of a young soldier entering the Army at the end of the Cold War in Europe and a hasty deployment to Saudi Arabia for Operation Desert Storm. While the story chronicles actual historical events from 1989 to 1991, it shamelessly depicts the immaturity of young soldiers in peacetime and on the battlefield.

I decided to tell my story in hopes of developing, in the reader, a deeper respect for America's veterans by revealing the extreme mental and physical sacrifices a soldier must make during war.
