Book excerpt: From mind numbing boredom one moment to being absolutely scared to death the next Life at sea is always interesting! The men and women of the Navy's HC-5 "Providers", Detachment 4, while deployed on the T-AE-26 Kilauea, set records, got awards, and had some fun too! Start with helicopters hovering with explosive cargo, mix in some truly lunatic fork lift drivers, maybe grab a couple hours of sleep, if you're lucky, have some great food and terrible coffee, grab your Walkman and your gas mask, we'll enjoy surreal sunsets, and oh yeah, don't forget we're in a War Zone! Its an Adventure, just like the Navy promised! Told from the perspective of an aircraft mechanic who was just doing his best to hold things together, you'll feel the salt spray on your face as the rotor wash threatens to blow you over the edge. This book is dedicated to all the people back home, who wrote the letters and let us know they hadn't forgotten us. Thanks for the mail!

Book excerpt: Black & White Edition Desert Storm Diary is an insightful account of the first Persion Gulf War as witnessed by a reserve officer from North Dakota. Carefully detailed with entries from Col. Franklin Hook's wartime diary, the book captures the experiences of this physician and Army reservist called up and charged with command of the 311th Evacuation Hospital. Col. Hook's riveting report includes caring for patients in a combat zone and flying Medevac missions, while navigating problems with higher headquarters and negotiating with Arab Muslim civilians. Desert Storm Diary documents the chronology of the war, including its major battles, its leaders and its countless heroes. Desert Storm Diary also captures a story beyond military history as it unfolds as a family memoir recounting the Gulf War experiences of Hook's two sons, Bill and Paul, both deployed overseas at the same time and serving as a B-52 pilot and an Abrams M1-A1 tank platoon commander respectively. Bill and Paul's stories are featured as father-son interviews, and Col. Hook captures the spirit of a father's simultaneous pride and concern as he documents Bill's role in the last B-52 mission over Baghdad and describes his own angst over hearing a serviceman from North Dakota was missing after a B-52 bombing run. Col. Hook's memoir closes with an epilogue of informative perspective, "Reflections and the Ten Commandments of Muslim Diplomacy."

As I was reading my diaries, I noticed I had so much detailed information in them that I started reliving those days. I started typing the journals into my story. The Platoon Sergeant's Diaries, Persian Gulf War 1990 - 1991. Diary 1 - Operation Desert Shield, and Diary 2 - Operation Desert Storm. Although well documented, accurate to the best of my recollection, it is the history of the men and women of the 236th Medical Company and those who were attached to our unit. It also gives the account for each day. It has been a lot of work, research putting it all together, and with the addition of pictures - A true story.
