A Day in the Life By: Bob Barnett is a delightful collection of short stories that give a behind-the-scenes view of what it's really like to be in the United States Marine Corps. From pulling off elaborate pranks to getting lost during training and having to camp in the freezing rain, this collection is both hilarious and heartfelt, and shows that even members of the world's most elite combat force can have a little fun too.

His grandfather was a Marine, his mother is a retired Navy Reservist, and two of his uncles served in the Vietnam War, one as a Marine.
