Being new to law enforcement, I had no idea what to expect. I seriously wish I had this book before I went into the academy.  The most difficult was not being mentally or physically prepared.  I realized very quickly what was needed throughout the academy in order to survive. Now that I have been an officer and teach in law enforcement, being able to prepare your students is the key to everyone's success.  Awesome book, Brad!! Brad is definitely compassionate about his career in Law Enforcement and it is highlighted throughout this book.

I just finished reading Mr. Mann's Inside Seal Team Six. Unbelievable!!! I was also a Navy Corpsman attached to a Marine Corps unit and loved it but was scared to try out for the SEALs. Inside SEAL TEAM SIX is very inspirational!. Don Mann is an amazing human being who has a gift for portraying his views in an interesting way for every reader! I highly recommend this book to any person looking for an amazing read or for any person who has ever considered a career as a Navy Seal. 5 stars all around.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. I recommend it to just about every guy I know. If you like beer-drinking, butt-kicking, All-American true stories of the men of special ops, get this! Trust me, this ones a keeper! Marcinko tells his story of Seal Team 6 and his outlook on the government today. This is a well-written, exciting and motivating book. It will bring out the Counter-terrorist in everyone! This guy should run for Congress!!!!!!

As a student in college just entering the world of internships and all of the stress that comes along with it, this book put many of my concerns at ease. Tim Pitts is an outstanding author who has written a must read book for any young adult who is unsure about their future. Each chapter is nicely constructed as well as includes a short summary at the end making it an easy and enjoyable read. From this book I learned a great deal of advice on many extremely, prevalent topics in the professional world. I will undoubtedly keep this book by my side in my future school and job searches. I am very excited to see what comes next for this outstanding author.

Simply motivating and truly unlike any other books on Discipline. Each word well thought out, concise and to the point. I came out of this quick read knowing exactly what the author intended to convey. Material is definitely relevant to all service academies and recommended to all cadets and midshipmen from all academies, as well as graduates of academies.

This book is absolutely fantastic!  As a retired military officer, I really wish I had this book for my junior officers when I was active duty...the concepts are simple, yet profound....and stated in a way where you can really remember them and readily apply them to your life.  I love how scripture is used along with humor and real life experience to speak to the reader.

Shortly after beginning to read the book, I got the distinct impression that it was written directly to...and for me.  Each successive principle seemed to hit right at the heart of something that needed attention in my life......I've ready many leadership books, but most were "endured".....this one was a pleasure to read, and I highly recommend it to anyone. If more of use followed these simple, biblically based principles, our lives would be easier and the world a far better place.  If you buy just one book this year....this should be it!

Listen folks, I have 20 years of firearms experience.  Just to get that out of the way.  Now lsten to me, this books' title does it no justice.  You may be thinking, ok "stories of people who had shooting situations".  Further from the truth.  This book is filled with so much information and great information at that, you won't put the book down until you are done.

Now when you read this book, don't get all he-man on the world and feel you are ready to handle anything.  Altough you will feel better about going out and have a better outlook, make sure to be smart about getting a professional class from a live competent instructor.

Again the book is great, I am not a friend, or paid advertiser for this book.  Just a guy who read the reviews and figured I would give it a go and I tell you the money was well spent on this one...

Get this book and learn something from it...

There is no preparation to be a military mom.  Having our son joining the Marine Corp was a life changing experience.  This book I am convinced should be handed to EVERY military mom when our sons/daughters enlist.  This book will soul search all those very deep feelings you are feeling when you think no one understands or you are alone.  Elaine is a talenented writer and knows what to touch on to  let you know you are not alone.  In addition she will provide you her own experience and knowledge and provide some very helpful advice.  This book is a MUST read and one I will be referencing when I need to just be reassure!  Semper Gumby!

I would recommend this book to anyone from those beginning college to anyone working as a professional. This book is a wonderful guide that helps you take inventory of your strengths and weaknesses, and then use them to improve yourself while guiding you towards your future goals! Each step is reinforced with many personal experiences from Mr. Chuisano. His successful career as an executive allows him to draw on a wealth of knowledge. I preferred his real world examples vs. other authors hypotheticals. Wonderful book, a must read!

This past weekend I had the opportunity to meet and speak with the co-author of this publication, William C. Peterson III. This very intelligent and highly motivated gentleman approached me and some of my friends when he noticed we were holding and talking about The Hooah Schools book. He began to guide us through the book pointing out key factors on the many different schools and what it truly meant to graduate from them.  The amount of information provided inside the cover is incredible and I suggest to ALL Soldiers (male and female)here in the U.S. and overseas to invest in this manual.

On a seperate note to Mr. Peterson, I look forward to your publications and meeting you again in the future. Capt. Mullins

I think every pilot should read this book. It is full of stories that teach avgeeks great lessons. I love Cap'n Aux interview with Qantas flight 32 Captain because it tells every pilot that understanding airplane systems could be very crucial. I also like how Cap'n Aux explains that the First Officer is another qualified captain in the cockpit who is also responsible for the safety of the flight. I really can't wait for the next volume of this book. Thanks Cap'n Aux!!!!

As a future officer in the Army, this book gave me a glimpse of what is expected of a junior officer during war time.  I admire the cohesiveness and and teamwork the Outlaw Platoon demonstrated, and how quickly they adapted to the changing environments on the battlefield.  Three essential traits of a respected leader I took away from CPT Parnell's book are 1. Always take care of your men first and foremost, 2. Empower your subordinates, 3. Never show weakness in front of your troops or the enemy.

I recommend this novel to future military officers, and anyone wanting to get a better understanding of the stresses of combat that our troops have been engaged in for the past 11 years.

Overall, excellent read. To all the brave men from Outlaw Platoon, thank you for your service.

I heard about this book a few years ago while attending OCS, but reading it took on a new sense of urgency with the possibility of fighting the Iraqi Army again.
What these 5 young leaders did, not only during Operation Desert Shield/Storm, but also in taking the time & energy to put it down on paper, is absolutely invaluable to company grade officers.  As an Mech Infantry Company Commander with no combat experience, I feel that I am better prepared for what lies ahead now that I have been exposed to this book.  The candor of the 5 authors is a welcome relief.
Thank you to the 5 authors for providing today's military leaders with a glipmse into the most difficult leadership situation known to mankind...leading soldiers into battle.

I am half way through the book.  Mike Stock was my Executive Officer when we were both stationed at HSL-30 at NAS Norfolk back in 1979.  I was one of the squadron's Yeoman.  He was a great officer and leader.  I still have my performance appraisals that he wrote and signed.  Long time ago.

Mike - if you read this - you were one of many influencers in my life.  After leaving the Navy (My wife's wishes), I have earned several college degrees through a Masters, have taught college, and have been in the computer industry for over 30 years.  My best wishes to you,

Bob Rose - former YN2, US Navy

Wow! I have never had the opportunity to be part of our great military, but while reading this book I was there!  If you ever want to intimately experience army life without the pain of actually experiencing army life, in all its "glory" and humor, you owe yourself the pleasure to read, and at the same time enjoy the illustrations in this book. Could not put it down, nor could our fourteen year old daughter.

Should be mandatory reading for all high school students!

While reading Travis's book, "Command Your Transition: Declare Your Intent, Craft Your Mission, Make it on the Outside," I quickly realized how much Travis cares about his fellow servicemen. I certainly have to hand it to Travis, when I read some of the other reviews,

*  "Command Your Transition" offers an honest look at how military members can make the best of their transition.

*  I have told all of my friends that are in the military to read this book. If they are thinking of getting out of the military this is a must read!

*  Should Be A Required-Reading Material For People Separating from Active Duty Service

It's obvious Travis has created an excellent hand book for servicemen.

As one of the other reviews mentioned, this is an ideal "Thank You For Your Service" Gift

Travis, thank you for taking the time to share your expertise!
