The transformation that military members experience is one that lives with each veteran from the moment they arrive at basic military training until the end of their lives. Each experience is unique, and the unifying fact is that there is a change within each person who takes this path. Not every story is heroic. Not every story is a success. This is a story of one Airman's journey.

The story told is not the glorified version of what most people assume life in today's military is like. It is a candid re-telling of an Airman's life serving the country he loved. It is about the adversity he witnessed and personally faced along the way.

This book is about leadership and its failures. It is about the bully culture within our armed forces by the leaders who are legally charged with leading America's greatest assets, its people. Also it is about how the leadership culture is creating the perfect conditions for the suicide epidemic amongst active duty members and veterans.

The story is one that no one wants to hear. It is one that they will attack to support the narrative that the status quo is being met regardless of the countless lives being lost due to this culture. The story is candid feedback from one Airman whose military record exemplified dedication to his duty and sacrifice to his country, but experienced bullying firsthand by leadership ending his career abruptly.

This Airman found himself on the front lines in numerous controversial events to include abuse of power, bullying, favoritism, multiple court martials, nepotism, racism, sexual misconduct, and suicide by Air Force members. His story highlights his direct experiences in these controversial areas that critics do not want to hear.

His personal journey from poverty to earning some of the top individual awards and special duty selections is told with lessons that each person can use in their own lives. Even more importantly, he gives insights on his failures which are even better learning tools for success. The story is one that any person can use to help improve their performance using the concepts that an award-winning top performer used to change his life professionally and financially.

This story contains insights from the perspective of an unlikely overachiever that went to war with the Crab Mentality he was awakened to through the professional development he gained in the US Air Force.
