This book was started following 20 years of my service to our country. I submitted it for approval and it was rejected so I put off asking for more years than I would like to remember. Then in 2008 I requested approval once again. It was lost in the Government Paper mill. In 2014 I talked to our IG and he suggested that I have another manuscript created, turn it in and he would see how he might help. Well he turned it over to security folks who ran it up the flagpole and I received a call that it had been approved. They wanted me to figure out a way to not directly reflect contacts throughout the years so I removed their last names. I was told that this book would be an excellent explanation of how the military service works and some young troops may find this the deciding factor. I can never repay the government for the way it worked out. Thank You so much.
