Editor's Note:
EDITOR'S SYNOPSISIn his first full length publication, Bradley Angle pulls on his enlisted experiences in the post 9/11 Coast Guard to create vivid accounts of life aboard seagoing cutters, debauched port-calls, dishonest missions, and the known and poorly managed problem of alcohol and drug abuse in the military. This is the first portrait of the enlisted Coastie, published by a former junior petty officer, without a superfluous focus on ASTs, machoism, or devotion-to-duty.With a backdrop of the US Coast Guard's transition from the Department of Transportation to the more militant Department of Homeland Security, in this story of stories, the straight-out-of-boot non-rate, Pojack Ashore, rambles his way through life aboard a 378, alongside despondent shipmates and superiors. Transferring to "A" school, Pojack finds an opportunity to join one of the most elite units in the CG. At this new unit, he struggles to fight off old addictions, he's pessimistic about the new objectives of the Coast Guard, and he crafts better ways of impressing his superior officers.Don't jump to conclusions yet. Pojack is no sh**bag. Once given enough rope, he climbs to higher ranks, he focuses and succeeds at becoming qualified at the most difficult of certifications. He becomes the go-to-guy and finds himself in a position to deploy, month after month, week after week. But there is something missing in Pojack's nautical world. He looks for it beyond the prow, beyond the fantail, over every rail, where he leans, stares into the water, smokes and exchanges stories with his shipmates.At each step, our pseudo-hero finds important deep and shallow connections with his shipmates. He watches many of them struggle, and responds with both empathic kindness and belligerent indifference. Suicide attempts follow his friends beyond the issuance of DD-214s, some more fruitful than others. Letters are written to the VA. Other-than-honorable dischargers are given. Police record maddening episodes of emotional collapse. Waves crash over historical figures and symbolic towers......If you are a fan of maritime literature: Dana, Melville, London, Masefield, this book is for you. If you like armchair maritime history: this book has plenty. If you want sea-story, adventure, nautical settings, this book is for you. Bradley's use of Pojack Ashore, the book's main character, and a collection of his shipmate's sea-stories, has created a beautiful confluence of memoir and tale that will surely be a treasure to any Coastguardsmen, maritime man, or lover of stories. AUTHOR'S THOUGHTSIt needs to be understood that an "Other Than Honorable" discharge gives zero reflection of a person's character. And, outdated traditions are some of the most dangerous barriers to success in the 21st century, this includes traditions that place legal and caste barriers between humans - aboard ships and on sidewalks. I hope this book highlights those two things. FEEDBACK"A quick and easy read.""A side of serving that is hidden from the public.""Challenges the perception most people have of the Coast Guard."
