Wow, I'm LMFAO right now. One of the books under "Jr. Enlisted" was "Starship Troopers". I've seen the movie but havn't read the book. But, yeah, this program looks REALLY interesting! Thanks for the post, Sir.........

And I am laughing at you for your comments. If you think the book is anything like the movie, then you might want to re-think any movie you have watched "based on" a book.

I have read "Starship Troopers", and I read it as a junior 2LT because my Company Commander told me to. It is a superb story that makes you think about the future of combat, but also teaches several important leadership principles for Officers and NCOs alike.

...as well as mandatory service for "citizenship." It may be "sci-fi," but there's plenty in there to think about.
