Letters From Boot Camp

Letters from Boot Camp captures the tale of one young woman's Navy boot camp adventure from the initial shock of lack of privacy, freedom and sleep to constant verbal abuse combined with endless inspections. Seaman Recruit Beckley details her experiences in letters sent home from the beginning with "Today was the longest day of my life and the two months here will never be over!" to eventually enjoying the challenge. Each week of training we follow Seaman Recruit Beckley through tortuous punishments, losing recruit-mates, surviving Hell Week and poisonous spiders. The narrative connects two generations of sailors weaving in advice from her "salt of the sea" Dad who supports her and reminds her to, "Hang in there. Head up. Chest out. Back straight. And keep those shoes polished." This detailed, factual account provides a real-as-it-gets daily view of boot camp life spattered with emotion and humor. Included are tips on preparing for and surviving Navy boot camp, Navy terminology, and post-boot camp life. This is the only Navy boot camp memoir written from a woman's perspective and is a must-have for any parent or friend to give their loved one who is enlisting in the U.S. Navy.
