I got this idea from JBL. So-like the title says?

I just finished Force Recon Diary 1969 by Bruce H. Norton."Doc" Norton was a Navy Corpsman who served with both the 3rd and 1st Marine Force Recon Companies in Vietnam.He was one of very few Navy Corpsmen to be "dual-qual"-SCUBA and Parachute certified,as well as the ONLY Corpsman to Lead recon Teams.He left the Navy in 1971 and joined the Marines as an officer after completing College.A great memoir by a true professional!

I also finished the novel Trophy by Julian-Jay Saverin. Focused around the hypothetical creation of "November Squadrons" consisting of pilots and navs from all the NATO countries integrated into one unit,the book is an interesting look into the lives and loves of Fighter Aircrew.

i'm reading exile by aaron allston the latest book in the legacy of the force series and i gottta say that i lose more interest in what they are doing in the star wars expanded universe with each book, unless your a hardcore fan pass this series up

Do graphic novels count? I'm rereading the Akira graphic novels published by Dark Horse. Awesome, awesome stuff!If you've only seen the movie and haven't read the graphic novels, there's a whole lot more to the story.

I'm reading up on Active Directory...Yeah...not very exciting or even that interesting. But there is a Help Desk Administer position open at my work and I am just trying to prepare for my interview. Would be nice to land the job though.

Coming soon: 'JoeSpecialOps'

I've been reading a lot at for the whole summer so far. My job allows for me to read a good 3-4 hours (bus and train there and back, plus when I work at the desk or finish my work for the day), so I've done a ton of reading this summer. I reread a couple of Vonnegut books (Mother Night and Slapstick) plus I'm finishing Galapagos again right now. He is definitely my favorite author, incredibly insightful into and hilarious at the same time while revealing his views throughout the his stories. I highly recommend reading any of his books if you already haven't, especially Cat's Cradle. I read Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy (excellent read, thrilling book and the military aspect along with his plot were very well written), Marine Sniper and Silent Warrior by Charles Henderson (deep look into Carlos N. Hathcock, one of the great snipers of the marine core), Dude! Where's My Country by Michael Moore (really opened my eyes to a lot of political wrongdoings I was not aware of), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (an incredible way to send off the fantastic series, I won't say anymore in case you haven't read it yet), and The New Face of War by Bruce Berkowitz (a look into how war will be fought in the new century and how we got to that point, some very interesting advances that I did not know about were very intriguing). I highly recommend all of these books, they kept me entertained while I was reading them. I'm hoping to get at least three more read by the end of the summer, although I don't know what books I will read yet.
