Title: A little bit of meaning in a hard world
Review: I have a great respect for Capt. Fick. Not only was he able to write a wonderfully engaging (on many levels) narrative of his experiences during Marine Corp training and the subsequent Iraq war, but he was able to open his heart and let us in on all of the fears, trials and tribulations that are associated with someone handed the lives of 23 men. I have been moved by this book like no other in recent memory. It is a great read for anyone interested in todays military and should be required reading for someone thinking about Marine OCS.Also, contrary to a previous reviewer, Capt. Fick was promoted two (2) times and his personal decision to leave the corps does not diminish in any way the story of how a marine officer is made!
