C.S. Stahlman reflects through 28 essays on his experiences in the Army during the Cold War, sharing Life Lessons of great value. Aimed at veterans and their families, but also relevant to non-veterans and organizations seeking to develop their new hires, it serves as both a memoir and a guide for those navigating the transition from boyhood to manhood, from youth to adulthood. Readers who are not veterans will gain insight into their veteran parents' experiences, while veterans will recall similar humorous and meaningful moments from their service. The foreword is written by MG (ret.) Byron S. Bagby.
