This book tells the story of how I learned my life had value. It begins in Placerville, California, with a restless kid who lost his mother young and never felt fully settled at home. At fifteen, the Navy gave me a path before I had the maturity to understand what I was stepping into. What followed was a twenty-one-year career shaped by engine rooms, war zones, dive lockers, salvage ships, deep-water operations, and the hard discipline of becoming a Master Diver.

Als bekennender Gegner des Nationalsozialismus wurde Eugen Kogon im September 1939 in das Konzentrationslager Buchenwald deportiert, wo er bis 1945 inhaftiert blieb.

The military strategy was clear: stand up as the local forces stood down. But in the most dangerous city in Iraq, there was no one left to stand. In May 2006, the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division ("Ready First") arrived in Ramadi. A city heavily controlled by Al Qaeda in Iraq, who had already declared it the capital of their brutal caliphate. The conventional method of conducting quick patrols from distant bases was failing, creating a dangerous vacuum that the enemy filled the moment American tracks withdrew.

Until the Army recruiter came to school offering an escape.
