Summary of Nathaniel Fick's One Bullet Away

Sinopse

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 I went to Dartmouth intending to go to med school. But I ended up majoring in the classics. I didn’t understand what I, at age 22, could be consulted about. I wanted to be a warrior.#2 I had family who had served in World War II, and my father had enlisted in the Army in 1968. The Marine Corps promised nothing, but they asked if I had what it took. If I was going to serve in the military, I would be a Marine.#3 I joined the Marines in 1998, just as the United States was cashing in its post-cold war peace dividend. I thought I was joining a peacetime military, but the truth was that the Marines needed a certain number of officers, so competition existed between us.#4 The Marine transformation is one of American life’s storied tests. I knew its reputation was earned. I was apprehensive about going through it.
