This book is a memoir of the Marine Corps and a roller coaster ride of emotions. Anyone that served in the military will grin and nod in agreement at many of the life experiences that the author writes about from his service in the Marine Corps. At times, you will reflect on life and at other times you will laugh as it is punctuated with humor as well. Each chapter is followed up with life lessons learned and examples of the authors, "Fourteen Keys to Happiness and Personal Growth."
