The
Exciting New Memoir
From Author Brian Power
Lt.
Col. Power vividly recalls a wide
range of experiences from Boot Camp at Parris Island, SC; to
infantry training at Camp LeJeune, NC; to Officer training at
Quantico, VA. He gives us the pros and the cons from his tour
as a young lieutenant in Japan, to his Reserve experiences as
a junior infantry officer, to his recall to Active Duty to attend
the prestigious Naval War College in Newport, RI, to his final
tour at the Pentagon where he again had been recalled to Active
Duty for Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
His
reminiscences over more than a quarter-century of both Active
and Reserve service in the Marine Corps reflect and magnify
the core values (Honor, Courage, Commitment) that the Marines
are taught (and you will be exposed to a few who do not always
practice them). As Lt.Col. Power grew in his career he met remarkable
people, was supported with outstanding loyalty from his troops,
took part in significant events, and had his heart filled with
acomplishment and broken by duplicity.
But his love for the Corps remained intact.
Power
weaves an engrossing tale of intriguing characters coupled with
military events and highlighted by his sometimes joyous and
hilarious experiences.It's a good read.
