First U.S. Navy Boot Camp Memoir by a Woman Letters from Boot Camp by Donna Beckley Galanti
Getting used to boot camp daily life was a shock to the system for Seaman Recruit Beckley - such as lack of privacy and sleep combined with constant verbal abuse. She details her experiences in letters sent home from the beginning with "Today was the longest day of my life and the two months here will never be over!"
"Beckley writes with reflective clarity on boot camp life in detail," notes Robert Inverso, Chief Mass Communications Specialist, U.S. Navy. "It's chock full of Navy jargon and the survival smarts needed to face the eight week challenge of Watches, P.T., inspections and what seemed like never-ending Push-up position!"
The narrative connects two generations of sailors weaving in advice from her Dad, a former sailor, who gives her support on surviving boot camp days and always to, "Hang in there. Head up. Chest out. Back straight. And keep those shoes polished."
Follow this recruit through each week of training slogging through tortuous punishments, losing recruit-mates, surviving Hell Week and a poisonous spider bite, and working a 120-hour week on her feet in the "Galley".
This personal, detailed, daily view account of Navy boot camp also includes practical advice on how to prepare, survive, and Navy terminology.
A former U.S. Navy Photographer, Donna Beckley Galanti has written marketing communications for varied industries for more than 10 years after earning a B.A. in English and Journalism.
