WIT AND WISDOM FROM AMERICA'S FINEST

The official tie-in book to the wildly popular Facebook page, featuring brand-new crazy, off-the-wall, outrageously funny, and downright "awesome" pearls of wisdom from real-life drill sergeants and instructors from all branches of the military.

SWEAT DRIES. BLOOD CLOTS. BONES HEAL. SUCK IT UP, BUTTERCUP.

Welcome to basic training, soldier. Now meet your worst nightmare . . . your drill sergeant.

Even if you've never served in the military, you know the drill sergeant. The mere sight of his fatigues and the iconic "Round Brown" campaign hat strikes fear into the bravest of hearts. Drill sergeants inflict pain, demand discipline, and aren't afraid of power, aggression, and using fear as a motivational tool. But unless you've witnessed one firsthand with your face in the mud doing pushups, you might not know one other fact . . . drill sergeants are some of the FUNNIEST people on the planet!

After his deployment in Afghanistan, Dan Caddy began swapping great drill sergeant stories by e-mail with other combat veterans - an exchange with friends that would grow into the dedicated Facebook page, "Awesome Sh*t My Drill Sergeant Said." But what began as a comedic outlet has evolved into a robust online community and support network that conducts fundraisers for and donates to military charities, has helped veterans struggling with PTSD and other issues, and on numerous occasions, literally saved lives.

Now, Caddy shares more great DS stories - most never before seen - in this humorous collection. Often profane, sometimes profound, yet always entertaining, these rants from real life soldiers are interspersed with lively sidebars, Top 10 lists, stories from fans, one-liners, and more.

For anyone who has suffered a hard-ass manager (in uniform or not), Awesome Sh*t My Drill Sergeant Said will add a much needed dose of humor to the day.

Very Funny, Quick Read

It reminded me of my boot camp days. I can still hear my DS invoking a few of these invectives.

Lifelong civilian, enjoyable read, even for me.

As a civilian I wasn't sure I'd enjoy reading this book but I sure did. Recommend for anyone

I read this book nonstop, cover to cover. It brought back some hilarious memories of Basic Training in A-1-1 at Fort Jackson in 1967. It was a difficult job for Drill cadres to mold such diverse groups into cohesive, functional units. Looking back, it all makes sense, but at the time it was at times terrifying and quite attention getting.
