Smith\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1959 Ray Smith joined the 340th Engineers unaware that he might be expected to fight on a nuclear battlefield. After an eventful Basic Training, Ray was ordered to a Fort Gordon Georgia unit named after the Reserve Forces Act (RFA #1). There, 470 low-ranking enlisted men, mostly college graduates, were supervised by a first lieutenant, a sergeant and a corporal who ran the mail room. All were unmotivated \"short-timers\" whose interests were comfort, sleep and counting the days, not unlike characters from previous generations-No Time for Sergeants, Biloxi Blues or M*A*S*H-except that one day, with a few weeks remaining in their enlistment, the RFA #1 boys were told that they were to become Pentomic warriors modeled after the 101st Airborne Division.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 05, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52447722864947,"sku":"9781257917051","price":46.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/eUZGQWNDSFhJamVVZS9UNUpkRThIQT09.webp?v=1759017538","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-brown-shoe-army-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
