One of my readers emailed me a note about a book published for the very purpose for helping one get ready for “Boot Camp:”

“The Ultimate Basic Training Guide Book” by Sergeant Michael Volkin. An OIF Vet, he’s got the background for the topic. Here’s a link to the publisher’s site.Update 11/28/2007: There’s a blog on SGT Volkin’s site!

Now, something for the parents out there:

I picked this next one off a radio talk show last week, “Your Soldier, Your Army: A Parent’s Guide” by Vicki Cody. The entire pub is on the Association of the USA Army site in a .pdf format. That translates to free…sharing, that’s what it’s all about.I just found this one, “A Parents Guide to Surviving Marine Corps Boot Camp”, which is also in a .pdf format for ease of use.
