This book is a very real account of my experience during Army Basic Training. I have always found there to be a lack of solid reporting on how it FEELS to live through it. In this book I will describe the process in great detail so that those who are interested can understand whats its really like to enter the Army as a civilian and depart Basic Training a soldier.
