A 17-year-old kid from Wyoming joins the Navy to earn money for college and ends up gaining an education he didn’t expect. Welcome To The Jungle is a no-holds-barred coming-of-age tale of how a boy became a man in the U.S. Navy.

Follow the author from his decision to join the Navy through boot camp and out to the fleet aboard the USS Fresno (LST-1182) and his adventures in the Western Pacific, and finally into the Navy Reserves. Hear the real-life stories of what the Navy was like for an enlisted kid in the late 80's and early 90's.

This collection of stories, memories and journal entries document a boy's transition into manhood and beyond. If you've ever wondered what being in the Navy was REALLY like, this audiobook holds the answers.
