Sitting on a cruise ship, sobbing. Thank God I finished this on our balcony instead of a public space, I would look like a mess. 5⭐️

I spent 38 years as a Dept of Army civilian. Military wives were part of neighborhoods, my work environment, my friends, (my mother-in-law). I wasn‘t expecting this book to be insightful for me but it was. The whole enlisted vs officer‘s wife thing - boy, I get it. The kids thing - I get it. But my experiences were never with a community of special ops soldiers and their spouses - what they endure is a unique fraternity/sorority of emotion.

TheBookgeekFrau I recognize that gate! My infantryman daughter emerged with her blue cord 6 years ago ☺️ What a ride it's been! 1w
marleed @TheBookgeekFrau Hey congrats to your daughter! It seemed this book was calling for a Fort Benning gate in the background! 1w
TheBookgeekFrau @marleed Thank you💕 Also, thanks for the memories your background brought up. As crazy a time it was, it was also fun (at least for me and my husband, I'm sure my daughter would beg to differ 😆) 1w

Vietnam was truly a helicopter war - this is an account of a highly decorated chopper pilot, Ron Alexander, and his experiences rescuing injured soldiers from the hostile battlefield in his Huey. I was not fond of the audiobook‘s narrator. It happens

In her memoir Simone writes about being a fish out of water in the company of the other wives of the Unit and her reservations about military life but never shies away from portraying the strength, sacrifice, and intense bonds that these women share. I appreciated the raw examination of her feelings, her marriage. and the struggles she faced when her husband was deployed. I found this really compelling.

TheBookHippie I really enjoyed this read. Compelling is the right word. 1mo

Another good story in the Hard Ink series about a group of former military people who were used as scapegoats to cover up crimes. This book is about Easy and the woman he rescues from a human trafficking/drug ring and falls for. This is a great story arc that needs to be read in order. Lots of action and an ongoing mystery the men are working to solve keeps you invested. 4⭐️ #SeriesLove2024 @Andrew65 #LitsyLoveReads #LitsyLove

I would recommend this book for skeptical conspiracy theorists- lol. I loved it. It was hard to believe and unsettling but all true. Although the subject matter was dark, the author brought humor in which I liked. I did find it a bit hard to follow at times, but overall a great book. Give it a read!

Given Oppenheimer‘s Oscar wins, felt timely to read this book finally. 🎥
