Book Description
Each year, like a herd of lemmings racing over the proverbial cliff, thousands of adolescents pass through the gate of Parris Island, United States Marine Corps Recruit Depot. Their reasons for joining the Marines vary as widely as their chances for success, but they all share an ignorance of what the next three months hold in store. Upon graduation from high school, Phillip Spiegel decides that joining the Marine Corps is the best way to break the stifling yoke that his parents have placed about his neck, without taking the horrifying step of getting a real job. With the assistance of less-than-candid recruiters, Phillip makes his escape from parental bonds to the open and welcoming arms of Uncle Sam. Growing up isn't easy for anybody, especially for those who do their best to avoid it.
