Bountra

Some people write their memoirs to set the record straight. I ended up writing anecdotes, some serious, many ridiculous, and all unforgettable. This book isn’t a war diary (though experiences of three wars are narrated), nor a leadership manual (though there are enough egos and errors to qualify).

It’s a collection of true tales observed as an officer and a Fighter Controller-some gloriously proud, some hilariously embarrassing.

What’s captured here is the heartbeat of life in uniform: the quiet bravery, discipline and the loud laughter.

If you’re looking for drama, there’s plenty. If you’re here for humour, buckle up. To those who’ve served, laughed, or sworn under their breath in uniform-this is for you. To those who haven’t, this is what you missed.
