A surprising applicant for the military, Stephen enlisted in 2010, and attended Infantry Basic Training at Fort Benning, Georgia.

This book is fast-paced and accessible and will surely entertain any reader. Starting with an infamous “Shark Attack” this memoir pulls in the audience from the first chapter.Squared Away has twenty-four vignettes that comprise the chapters of the memoir. Each one details a different, humorous event and works within the larger context of what it means to serve America in uniform with brutal honesty, conviction, and care. In the book we meet a merry band of characters including sadistic drill sergeants, high-speed recruits, and hapless teenagers far from home.Stephen deployed at forty-one years old as an Infantryman to Afghanistan with the 4th Infantry Division, 4th Brigade Combat Team, from Fort Carson, Colorado. His unit was deployed near the Pakistan border in a time of chaos in the region. Part humorous account of Basic Training and part examination of what it takes to serve in uniform, Squared Away is a first-hand account of surviving in the military.
