Book excerpt: Ted Byrum decides to join the army and become a paratrooper. Little did this 18 year old suspect the military world could be as cruel and demanding as he found it. Not only was the leadership harsh, but the other recruits were people who would challenge his character, sometimes forcing and often helping him, to make decisions he was surprised he would ever take. Ted's father, a tough man that he looked up to, ordered him to "Be a Man, Fergod Sake," and these words stuck with this young man entering a larger world than he'd ever experienced. So when, in basic training, this new private is pushed and bullied by a big tough guy named Timothy Murphy, that's his first challenge to "be a man." Meanwhile, when Ted learns of an attempted suicide of his father at home, it shakes up many of his beliefs and expectations. This is followed by many cruelties and demands of the military, through 16 weeks of basic. and three weeks of jump school, where he encounters unnecessary beatings and deaths. How Ted reacts to these and many other events all go to influence his becoming a Man.

Book excerpt: You have this book in your hands with the intent of being entertained, I presume. I hope that is the case. Some of you wish to whoosh through this tract, not expecting to discover any characters or gems of insight. I pray that you stop in your tracks and say, Son of a gun! I never thought of that! or perhaps I like looking at that from a different angle! That would be nice, because I believe such insights are in here, waiting to be discovered like jewelry in Grandmas boudoir. Now even though Im encroaching on some unmentionable years in my life, this is just my second novel! And I didnt think it would be such a momentous effort. I created scenes and characters that didnt exist before this! Where were they before? In my insane brain, I suppose. I was amazed to count and come to the realization that Id created over forty people! Many of them have come from parts of people I knew, and I thank them. Also, some of the people I created have become friends. I will miss them! Also, I trust that you, the reader, will enjoy to some degree the scenes and ideas I wrote for you without too many curves or knucklers so you can swing and hit home runs again and again while you find pleasure in the reading. Also, I mention addictions often in this book. I learned that there are good addictions and bad ones. I had the bad habit of smoking for many years, and I am so sorry now. If only I could unsmoke every cigarette Id had, but of course, I cant. And the damage is done to my lungs. Thank you, cigarette companies, for the gifts of packs and cartons while in the military! But dont focus on this one idea. Theres so much more in this book. Like sex! So enough of all that. Please read and enjoy! Or else!

Mabbe you think I'm nutty too, because I know I'm goin' to be cured--but it don't hurt you none to have me think so, does it? Mabbe someday you might like to hope a little yerself, an' if--"
