In October 1999, my wife and I decided to put our best friend, Sparky to sleep. I began to reminisce about all the crazy things the dog was involved in. As one who always enjoyed being a storyteller, I kidded my wife and told her that I was going to write the dog’s memoirs. I began writing all the funny and crazy things the dog did over the 20 years he was with us. Sparky’s stores were funny, serious and there was one story about Sparky saving my wife’s life. As I was writing Sparky’s stories, I began to really enjoy doing so. After I finished writing about the events of Sparky, I began thinking about all the funny dog stories, other funny stories, and profoundly serious events I went through as a Postal worker. For years I told those stores to anyone who would listen. Since I enjoyed telling those stories, I decided to follow-up my dog stories with my personal stories, to include my military experiences. In titling my book, I did so because I always resented the term, “Going Postal,” mainly because the term implies dangerous or unstable people work for the Postal Service. However, as we have become to learn, there are crazies everywhere. With that in mind, I thought I would have a play on words and author a book, entitled “Going Postal”, beginning with my military experience, to hopefully grab the attention of the prospective reader. The stories in this book are funny, daring, disappointing, revealing, insightful, and entertaining. The stores also reveal racial sensitive issues I had to navigate. You will travel with me through Army basic training, advance infantry training, paratrooper jump school training, Special Warfare school, and challenging situations I met in Going Postal.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This memoir is a riveting account of my journey to become one of America's finest; a paratrooper and a Special Forces, Green Beret. This memoir will also take you through the very highs and very lows in working for the Postal Service. If you have heard the phrase Going Postal, I will give you tantalizing stories that will place you there with me as I attempted to navigate the mine fields of the Postal Service. After retiring from the Postal Service, with time on my hands, I started reminiscing about our dog Sparky, who we recently put to sleep, and the crazy things the dog had gotten into over the 20 years of his life. After authoring stories about Sparky and enjoying doing so, I turned my attention to my military and Postal careers, realizing I had so many interesting stories to tell about those experiences. With the combination of my military and Postal experiences and the stories associated with each, you will either feel sorry for me, or feel sorry for those I encountered. In titling my book 'Going Postal,' I wanted to provide a different point-of-view of the phrase; mainly because it implies dangerous or unstable people work for the Postal Service. My stories will either confirm that belief or give you another perspective of a postal worker. The stories I share in this book are funny, daring, disappointing, revealing, insightful, and most of all, I believe, entertaining. You will travel with me through basic training, advanced infantry training, paratrooper jump school training, Special Warfare school, in addition to uncountable challenging situations the Postal Service presented. You will then understand why I decided to Go Postal. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781665550512
