Book Review: This book helped prepare me.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Whats even funnier or dumber of people is when they say if this product does not work they are going to move to another one and give it a try... You can scam some of these people and take their money, place a stupid stamp on their forehead, and sleep with their wife while their busy getting scammed and they go back for more... Those people are clearly the target audience.. Maybe I should open a new business knowing there are so many clowns out there... Please take no offense if anybody reading this is a clown... By the way I am opening a new business where you can buy my pill "that makes that certain part of the male body larger". The ladies will love you oversized big toe and the 3rd nipple side effect.. Opening up for clowns everywhere.. Stay tuned... My god a buy now button here would get a sell right here right now I am sure... Dont get me wrong, if you got scammed dont sweat it.. It happens to all of us for one thing or another.. Like this one time I was promised a 5'6" blow up doll "c" cup [...] and it came in the mail at 5ft 1in and had "b" cup [...] with one i had to blow up every 5 mins... Tried to return it but they would not take back a used product.. Who knew? Small print I guess.. I am saying is if you got ripped off them fine but do not turn around and try a different ripp off product and then another and so on... If you still do not get it then I will gladly accept your money and I will offer you the service of showing up at your front door and smacking you in the face... Everybody have a good day.. Don't sweat the little member.. Get off the couch and flatten out your stomach. It will deff help minus the use of steroids.
Summary of Honor, Courage, Commitment: Navy Boot Camp
Through words and pictures, J. F. Leahy chronicles the transition of eighty-one men and women from civilians to sailors at the U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Illinois. Revealing a side of today's youth that many will find surprising, his examination of the unique American institution--popularly known as boot camp--offers a look into the hearts and minds of a group of young people who are a cross section of the nation. The work sheds light on the controversy over gender integration and helps bridge the gap between the military services and the society they serve.During the fall of 2000, the author was granted unlimited and unprecedented access to the recruits from the time they arrived at Chicago's airport until their graduation. Observing their training evolutions first hand, he interviewed them at every opportunity and surveyed them through a series of his own specially designed reaction papers. He watched them as they struggled through obstacle courses and learned how to fight shipboard fires. He listened as they shared their feelings, and he cheered them on as they faced the challenges of "Battle Stations" and tested their physical, mental, and moral preparations before entering the fleet. Leahy also shared their pride at the final parade and graduation ceremonies. Both eye-opening and inspiring, his guide will be valuable to future recruits and those who influence them, as well as those who have been there and want a reminder of that special time in their lives.
