Army life by Darry Jefferson is a true-life story of his expedition into the army and his days in the army. This began when he was a ten-year old, and his dad gave him a new computer game called Armey men. His fascination with the military and ambition of being deployed to fight in war made him to do a ROTIC program in the university of PLU but was suspended and had to join Pierce college. With the help of his friend Jon he was able to enlist in the army. What is it like in the army? Does he find what he expected in the army?
The author gives us the picture of what the army entails during war and even during his basic training and latter up to the time of deployment. He takes us through some of the sequels of being in the army. For example, he says those who go through an IED blast end up suffering a traumatic brain injury. Nanchette also suffers from PTSD pretty bad. Herdal too tells us how he was affected after active war. On the other hand, the author also says that enlisting in the army helped him change a lot as he matured.
The author also brings out how the community views people. An example is how some people found him weird because of his nature. This even made it hard for him to find a girl to start a relationship with. Does the author get into a relationship later despite of his poor social skills? Meanwhile guys like Jon had an easy time with girls. He even says that he would ‘f*ck’ many girls during his time in the army. Does the army hep him with his social skills? The author will get you through all that.
The author uses a vivid description by use of profanity and direct speech with unequivocal sexual scenes to give an exact image of what takes place in the army. There is nothing I disapprove of in the book as it is well edited with only one error that I noticed. The author uses a specific sense of humor and I can exhort a lover such a story line to read the book. Consequently, I would rate the book 5 out of 5..
