JOHNNY MUSTARD Yuk, Retired

"I had a love-hate relationship with the Army. We both loved it before I joined.

And we both hated it when I was in.

But what I’ve realized over the past two years, or rather I just had an epiphany recently and it’s this: my knee-jerk and jokey disdain for the whole military mess I got myself into has been hiding a deeper truth that I don’t dare admit to: I haven’t actually enjoyed my time in uniform, but I can’t say I haven’t actually not enjoyed it either. Ever since that crossing of the Rubicon Registration Day shock and awful eye-opening subsided I’ve been hating the Army for almost all the right reasons, without even knowing it. And the Army has continued reciprocating the contempt the whole time for all the wrong ones.

Let me explain."


This is a highly-fictionalized account (I come out as the hero, of course) of my ignominious and thankfully brief time as a cadet in The Long Gray Line. It's an ode to all my PTB brothers in arms, a non-p.c. romp and stomp that hopefully captures what that special time and place meant and might still mean today.

"Distinguished"

Tim,

It's a MUCH improved book. It still probably has too much animal house for most readers, but the increased mature reflection, especially at the conclusion, raise it from adolescent to adult levels, and that encouraged me to stop and think more deeply about the book.

There's one more large duplication of text which I noted but haven't yet found it again. Once I do I'll send that errata as well.

Many thanks for the autographed copy. It'll join others in the 'distinguished' writings section of the library.

Cheers,

Don S.

Well written

Well written, thought provoking and compelling as a “coming of age” story unlike any other
