A fictional (I believe) tale of the lives of four women and their association with the military. Outrageous, exaggerated, and quite pornographic at times, it almost perfectly captures the general emotional tone of the private life of a large and characteristic segment of active duty personnel. The author must have been in the military and is writing about experiences that sound too true to be entirely fictitious. I served in the Air Force as a doctor in a veneral disease clinic, and I can tell you from my own experience that seldom has an author got it quite as right as this one did when she wrote this book. No recruiter has the guts and honesty to give a book like this to people interested in joining up, but they should.
