We actually were not issued any books to read, and the Drill Instructors were there 24/7 to make life miserable, and they did their best to train and prepare us on what we would soon be facing. But as hard as they tried, and as hard as we tried, it did not make any sense until you first heard what you thought were bee's buzzing around your ears, and then the realization that that they were not bee's, but the sound of bullets whizzing by. First time I heard a B-52 strike I was not prepared for the noise or the consussion. Same as with how Napalm sucks the air right out of your lungs. Ahh, the memories.
