This book is a memoir of the author’s active service in the United States Marine Corps. It recounts his decision to enlist; boot camp; service in North China; recall in 1950; commissioning; adventures in Hollywood; combat service in Korea; and his homecoming. The author reveals he was not your typical hard-charging Marine. The book tells stories of many heroes; and a few cowards. It recounts some terrifying experiences; some hilarious episodes; and graphically illustrates how the superlative history of the Corps imposes a burden on every individual Marine to measure up.
