Publisher's Summary:
The acclaimed novel that was the basis for the classic movie starring Jack Nicholson.
Unlike other branches of the armed services, the Navy draws its police force from the ranks as temporary duty - Shore Patrol. In this funny, bawdy, moving audiobook set during the height of the Vietnam War, two career sailors in transit in Norfolk, Virginia - Billy "Bad-Ass" Buddusky and Mule Mulhall - are assigned to escort 18-year-old Larry Meadows from Norfolk to the brig in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he is to serve an eight-year sentence for petty theft. It's good duty, until the two old salts realize the injustice of the sentence and are oddly affected by the naive innocence of their young prisoner.
In the five days allotted for the detail, they decide to show Meadows something of the life he doesn't yet know to help him survive the long ordeal ahead, and to purge their own shame. What follows is an unlikely road trip by bus and train up the eastern seaboard, and an indelible journey of initiation and discovery, filled with beer-soaked wisdom, big city lights, revelry, brawls, debauchery, love, and surprising moments of tenderness.

Good Book
The book is always better than the movie.. I find to be true for this story as well. I canât wait to read LAST FLAG
Another good read
Read the book after seeing the film. Owned the book more than 10 years ago, glad to own it again, but I think I prefer the film
A tale set in an earlier time, but true today.
I read this book thirty years ago and loved it. The story is slightly dated, but the emotions remain true, and the the book has worn well, unlike many others of its time. I reccomend it highly. You may have difficulty locating a copy, but it is well worth the effort. Otherwise you'll have to settle for the movie on late night TV.
