Produktbeschreibung

"SH*TBIRD! How I Learned to Love The Corps" is a humorous account of Marine Corps boot camp based on the author's experiences as well as those of many other jarheads. The book begins with an introductory section that reveals the culture shock that most recruits experience as they step out of their teenage civilian world into one turned upside down. Following are 90 plus funny stories contributed by guys who were there. While most civilians will find the stories funny, they will be especially appreciated by veterans of all services who experienced some form of boot camp.
