He wasn't a Marine, he was an embed. But he lived the experience.

Well spank me silly, I read the book years ago and was under the impression he was a member of the platoon.
I stand corrected sir.

For pleasure:

Runnin' with the Devil: A Backstage Pass to the Wild Times, Loud Rock, and the Down and Dirty Truth Behind the Making of Van Halen by Joseph Layden and Noel Monk


For learnin':
The Admirals: Nimitz, Halsey, Leahy, and King - Walter Borneman

Not at all surprised a book on the admirals wouldn’t include David Robinson or Zumwalt… 😹.


…Yea my packet isn’t getting OCS packet isn’t getting picked up …🫠

Van Halen is cool though.

Skunk Works by Ben Rich -- a memoir of Lockheed's special projects division. A bit short on technical details that I like (and that are available elsewhere) but a nice overview.

It's been slightly slow-going for me as the dreaded age-related macular degeneration has hit my right eye pretty hard the last year or two. Grrr...

Really enjoying this one thus far. Fascinating to see how the Navy got from WWII to where we are today.
