Only A Soldier Understands - A Military Devotional and Bible Study for Warriors with a Story Book 2: Training (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781478720881)

Nobody understands what it feels like to be a soldier - except another soldier. In Only a Soldier Understands Volume 2: Training, Vietnam veteran Dr. Clay Lifto continues to examine his early days in the Army, sharing feelings and milestones that are universal to young men and women entering the military and finding their identity. This book takes a look at the deeply personal journey of a new soldier. It's about family back home, and gaining their respect. It's about living far from home and feeling lonely. It's about good and bad bosses. It's about successes and failures, excitement and frustration. But most of all, it's about gaining insight and perspective about your life-changing experiences. Told in a series of short anecdotes full of humor and honesty, this book offers you the opportunity to compare and contrast your own feelings and facts, and provides questions designed to help you delve deeper, as well as compassionate advice from the best Commander of all. If you're stuck in a particular place in your career, the Table of Contents can guide you to the section you need most right now. But each of the 38 stories has something valuable for you. Equally relevant to both the new recruit and the career soldier, Only a Soldier Understands gives you a mentor you can trust, and a colleague who's been where you are.
