Welcome aboard! Hoist anchor with an ordinary guy who turns his military career into an exciting adventure around the globe and faces the dangers and intrigue of both Cold Wars and Hot Wars.
Spanning more than two decades, the journey begins at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center in Illinois and winds through the Alantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Caribbean, and through the Panama Canal and into the Pacific Ocean.
Struggling with the tension and pressures of the cold war gripping the world, we sail into harm's way as the jungles and swamps of South Vietnam explode into a hot war. Survival training with the SEALs leads to the war zone with missions nearly impossible. Then the Navy Petty Officer finds his status lifted to Warrant Officer in the Army, running the boats along the rivers and deltas of the beleaguered country. How does it end?
