Reality check

Revisado: 02-06-25

This book is good for any pilot to review. I found it stimulated my thought process and filled in the gaps missed by my personal eclectic approach to training. I am a 1000 hour instrument rated SEL pilot with complex and tail dragged endorsements.

This story is true

Revisado: 01-15-25

Unforgettable acts of valor and when all looked the darkest. Our soldiers, Americans, never gave up. They pulled from themselves the physical strength plus the clarity of mind to over come all. They pushed back and retook the outpost till help from the skies arrived. This is a story of how training and the will to survive jelled and each man’s part shoehorned with other men and machines to overcome and survive against overwhelming odds. They came from us. I like to think that a little bit of these men’s bravery and ability reside in each of us. Stories such as this should instill and us a bit a bit of pride and a bit of pause. And we should live our lives in such a way to honor those who throughout the history of the United States of America, have fault to preserve our way of life.A must read.

How our military has lost its way

Revisado: 11-22-24

Much was shocking and eye opening. It is apparent that many top-down changes needs to happen in our military.

This should be required reading for everyone

Nothing. I own a printed copy, and I would listen to the audible production at least three times. There is more knowledge to be cleaned from this book than just about any I’ve ever read, or listened to.

Oddly narrated

Revisado: 02-20-23

I will say the author gave good data and if you can endure the narrators voice and style, you will benefit from the message from within. Until the chapter on plant based lifestyle when one has to endure being preached at and shamed for having incisors. Do yourself a favor and skip that chapter. If you buy the book then you already enjoy the benefits of vegetables. Again the author knows their stuff and obviously knows the science behind it. Their knowledge is on the PHD level of understanding how hydroponics and plants work together for outstanding yields. If you grit your teeth and endure the audio production, you will gain valuable knowledge.

Critical of American lodges

Revisado: 05-24-22

Yes we have seen an ebb and flow of membership and I agree, the one day pathway to the individual members rise in conferring degrees is in danger of cheapening the experience. However, the authors insistence the European or Australian path is superior is irritating. Good for him and his lodge. Each to his own. America and its lodges are rich in their history. Our small blue lodge is growing and our instruction is one on one as it has been done through the ages. I will say I enjoyed the book until the last chapters. Masons are world wide and the recognition extends beyond countries. To tout a country or countries Masonic policies over another country, as superior, is alienating, at least to this reader. He could have chosen his words more carefully by not mentioning countries at all but did not do so. It is puzzling as the author is from Indianapolis.

Third time to read

Revisado: 10-08-20

I have purchased a kindle version plus the Audible version. I expect that I will read it multiple or listen multiple more times. This book is one of my treasures in my library. What can I say. It is a good read but more so an historical recording of fluid action during a great battle. The situational awareness and clarity of thought during pressure applied that not many can have claimed to experience. One day an epic movie will be made. One day a President worthy of the office will recognize these heroes. Again I say this one of the best books I own. It is a true account of the soldiers who are now known as the
Ions of Kandahar.

Very well written and the audio production was not just a reading but they changed character voices to enhance the experience very effectively. Excellent book with excellent audio production.
