 A worthwhile read for those going in the Navy & their families. October 19, 2007
L. Lawver (Wisconsin, United States)
My son is joining the Navy. I was very interested to know what the boot camp experience might be like for him. I think this book has given me a good idea of what he'll be facing. In some ways the information was a relief and in some ways a warning. I am glad I read it.

I recommend this book for any parent who wants to experience their Navy Recruit's experience in the Training Recruit Command Program at Great Lakes (Boot Camp. It made me feel closer to my son and made the "Pass In Review" graduation ceremony more meaningful, having read the book.
 Disappointed August 24, 2007
FERGIE1 (Sumter, SC USA)
Enjoyed reading the book, howver it is quite obvious special attention was awarded to the recruits while Leahy was there observing Great Lakes to write this book. I just had a son graduate on August 10, 2007 and trust me things are quite different than the book portrays.

This was my division that the book was written about. DIVISION 005. At the time I wasnt married and my name was Michelle Gray. There is a pic or 2 of me in the book. I went through bookcamp from OCT 2000-Dec 2000. Mr Leahy was there with us every day from sun up to sun down. I only recently got the book to read and it brang back sooo many memories. I think this book is great for anyone wondering how bootcamp will be. Even though things have changed alot through the yrs most of bootcamp is the same. Bootcamp has gotten easier and you get more sleep at night now!!!! If anyone needs any info or wants to know anything about bootcamp you can email me with any questions. I am still in the Navy and stationed in Japan right now. I have been in for almost 7 year and have never been on a ship out to sea. Guess you can say Im pretty luck! [...]

Wonderful account of what to expect for my son who will leave for Great Lakes in 2 weeks. Received book on Friday and did not put it down until I finished it today. The other members of the family will be reading this also. From what friends who have been in the Navy have related, this is a very accurate picture of life as a recruit.
