This is the story of a young man coming of age in the early 1970's, after high school. Carl learns about women and love, joins the Marine Corps, and learns about being an adult; this is a long story with several books covering many decades. Lots of sex in the first couple of books, and is autobiographical in nature.
Volumn 2 of my story; going to Marine Corps boot camp and surviving; though that is a challenge, in many ways. Carl gets lots of personal attention and training; mainly because the DI’s insults are so funny; but he does do well. Then through initial occupational training near Memphis, with a couple complications; then through system training near Virginia Beach, with a few more twists. Life is a journey, and Carl’s has a few bumps and detours; but it entertaining.
