Three Weeks in Limbo (Paperback)

I spent three weeks rotting away in limbo. I had decided to join the United States Marine Corps with my cousin, only, I was fifty pounds overweight, and I hadn't had much time to lose it. After I swore in to the corps, long nights of partying, girls, and alcoholism deterred my intentions of losing the weight, and when November came, I found myself in the only true hell on Earth: the Physical Conditioning Platoon in MCRD San Diego. I spent three weeks in the company of broken men, suicidal outcasts, and one overbearing, soul-crushing Drill Instructor, and in this place, I overcame my insecurities, I lost several pounds, I became best friends with a man I still know today, and I became a leader.
