Product Description
This short story describes a move to a new state that was a life-changing event. It also describes some of the great adventures I had on a western ranch that was over 26,000 acres in size. The book also describes some of my experiences while serving on a nuclear powered aircraft carrier. It documents some of the perils of being out to sea and visiting foreign ports of call.It also takes a look into the past and offers a perspective of the growing tensions in the middle east and ponders the thought whether we would really be concerned about the area if they didn t have vast oil reserves.It is a story about a boy who comes of age on a southwestern ranch and later gets a true taste of reality and the high cost of freedom while serving in the U.S. Navy.The story takes place in the time frame from 1976 to 1988.

4 out of 5 stars Great for first published novel.   December 11, 2005
Enigmaticjello
This book really surprised me. For a guy that hasn't written a whole lot, writting openly about his past, it was a great novel. I learned a lot about the military and a lot about what happens at port in the Navy. I found it interesting. He also mentioned a bit about Arizona, and me being from the area his is talking about, I was happy to hear in detail about the ranches and ways before my time. I do admit that it did end quite abruptly, but otherwise it was a good read. It also has a few grammarical errors. I recommend it.
