Twenty Years and a Wake Up

Twenty Years and a Wake Up… chronicles the life of an infantry soldier from the time he enlisted in the US Army at age seventeen until he retired at age forty-two. The book covers a series of life's events, mishaps, adventures and nuances as seen through the eyes of a boy who became a man. Drugs, sex and rock-and-roll are only a few of the issues that Michael is confronted with--as well as spending periods of time in war zones. Michael entered the US Army as a private and, ultimately, achieved the rank of sergeant major. If he could pull this off while going through what he did, anyone can. This book is funny, entertaining, sad and, at times, unsettling. It can be read and understood by anyone, whether military or civilian. The bottom line is that this is a must-read book; you've got to buy it. Once you start reading it, you won't put it down until it is finished.
