Lost In the Army

About the Book

Getting lost the first day of basic training was only the beginning of the misadventures of Private Hise, who never really wanted to be a “killer”, as the Army so specifically described his mission . From falling in a creek on the obstacle course on a cold February morning to being punished for returning from a hospital stay without a light duty slip to finding a temporary paradise working in an Army Education Center, Hise relates his experiences as an Army draftee with a poignant humor.

Can a man who refuses to surrender his poetry book find success in the Army?
