A collection of humorous memoir-based anecdotes revolving around the Cadets at the Staunton Military Academy and in situations after graduation where the knowledge gained while attending the school came in handy.
For those of you that never had the opportunity to attend a military academy, it is a sub-culture on to itself. Life in a military academy is like having a hundred older brothers that closely resembled Wayne on the Wonder Years or Eddie Haskell on Leave It to Beaver, while, at the same time, providing a feeling of belonging to something greater than yourself long before that feeling instills itself in those outside the gates of the academy. You live so closely with every other cadet that, as you grow up with them, the relationship becomes a cross between a family and a team. Like a family, you may have liked some of those around you better than others, but you always share a common theme in your lives. Like a team, you shared experiences together that you carry with you forever.
Chapter titles include The 1966 raid on the Augusta Military Academy, The Mess Hall Break-in, and The Charge of The First Battalion.
This is Volume 1 of a three-volume set.
