Opis

People train for many things; tests, matches, weight reduction, but few in comparison to the generation of the sixties generation have trained for war. Plucked from society, having just completed High school or college, and immersed in an all consuming activity to make one ready for armed conflict was quite a shock for many who were involved. SMAC, Saga of a Student Warrior describes how James Callaghan dealt with the dramatic change in his life from the quiet of college to the all-encompassing training preparation for armed conflict in Vietnam. SMAC is the beginning of a trilogy following Callaghan s four-year military life. It describes how he dealt with Basic Training, Advanced Individual Training, Infantry Officer Candidate School, Signal Officers Training and finally as a Radio Officer at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. His story continues in Vietnam with C.M.A.C., Saga of a Saigon Warrior. ISBN 0595 178863. Finnegan s Military Saga series web site is www.saigonwarrior.com.
