This book, Memoirs, My Army Days During The Cold War 1965 Through 1968, tells readers about the day-to-day life of a soldier stationed in West Germany, on duty and off duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is where my book takes you: back in time, through my Army experience as an 18-year-old, I entered the Army directly after graduating from high school...much to my mother's frustrations. I started with training in New Jersey, went to Louisiana, and then across the Atlantic to Germany. I give readers a firsthand, day-to-day account of the life of a soldier during the Cold War. I recount humor-filled and extracurricular events in addition to the strict and severe command of Army rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost notable, however, are all of the shenanigans I and other soldiers in my company would get up to. Each chapter chronicles a different phase of training, a memorable event, or a new location where duty brought them. The book reveals themes of curiosity, fun, and, of course, if you can imagine being in the mind of a 19-year-old man in the army: girls. \"There's much humor and no politics involved.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI also traveled to other countries besides England, including a few trips to the Netherlands (Amsterdam) and the beaches on the North Sea. I visited many places of interest and even took a hike up the Alps in southern Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Roy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218675851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authors Point\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Patrick Roy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47474391613695,"sku":"9798218675851","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e4515eb-bd35-4ce7-9e8d-1a9f6b4fec6a.jpg?v=1762316438","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/memoirs-of-my-army-days-patrick-roy-9798218675851","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
