Does being in the military really mean being awakened by bugles at 5:00am, eating stingy rations, and training in tough conditions for hours on end? U.S. Marine Corps veteran Eric Davids shares his experiences in the Naval Academy and on deployment; explains the intelligence behind "intelligence"; describes the physical and mental stresses of the job; talks about gaining leadership skills and life-long friendships; and discusses wrestling with the moral difficulties of war.

It's an eye-opening look into an institution that is steeped in discipline, order, and tradition.
