Query: While a bit outdated, it's excellent and easy to read, and gives a useful glimpse into boot camp life.

I ship out to Great Lakes in July. I found this book fun to read and informative. One of the other reviews criticized the book for not going deep enough with any of the recruits. While the author may have moved quickly from one to the other, I didn't mind at all. I didn't pick up the book to hear too much about any one kid's personal experience.I wanted an overall view of the experience from many different angles. And this book delivered just that. Reading about the officers' perspectives was worth the purchase alone. Even though this is far from comprehensive, I feel better prepared.And my mom's going to love reading this. It'll help her to understand what I'm up against, as she's a little worried about her "baby boy".WARNING: Keep in mind, some things no longer apply. They no longer have Service Week and battle stations has changed considerably.
