Despre această carte electronică

"ROUTE STEP - Semper Facetious" is a rollicking recollection of service related memories and the fellow Marines, friends and family that helped make them famous. ROUTE STEP marches across decades, from the recruiting office that began my Marine Corps journey, to fun-filled shipboard and shorebased adventures alike. ROUTE STEP intoduces a wonderful cast of characters that left an indelible smile in my mind and heart. It is a tongue-and-cheek tribute to my comrades, a lavishly embellished record of days gone by. ROUTE STEP introduces the likes of John Robichaux, Al Garcia, Todd Baker, Elden Zirkle, Claudia Novick, and Crystal Myslinski to name but a few. They are not famous people, not in the Hollywood sense of the term, but they are wonderful people, fun people, people that you ought to meet. Finally, ROUTE STEP marches into retirement where it pays tribute to my wife's inability to hold her liquor. It examines professional wrestling and relationships with associates. It looks at foul fowl hairdos, considers man's bestfriends, and bemoans the onslaught of my golden years. ROUTE STEP, March!
