5Amusing and realistic!  Jan 04, 2008
Story is not actually a work of true events nor complete fiction. It's realism to anyone involved in the NavalNukeProgram is very clear. Kudos to Mr. McCarty for exposing the real world events and lifestyle these unique individuals lead while placing themselves in harms way for old USA.

5Book cover graphics aren't the best...but can't judge a book by its cover  Mar 11, 2006
It's easy to see that this book was hastily put together with the blank page here and there between chapters and the sort of offset front cover graphics. But if you can look past that the author has put together a suprisingly eclectic collection of true? stories here, ranging from Surface Ship antics to Submariner scandals and exploits. The author says the stories are true, but I always take such claims with a grain of salt. However, this book was certainly written by a Nuke, there's no doubt about it. And he does a pretty good job of portraying everyday nuke life realistically enough, if with some embellishment. Hopefully, he puts some more effort into the graphic design into the next book, if there is one.

Plant wrestling challenges, Slutty Female exploits, submariner tragedies in poetic form, portrayals of overzealous, idiotic commanding officers, and the blood, sweat, and tears that is the true fuel of Nukedom. It has it all, if you take everything in the book as true. I don't. If not, then I guess it's up to other readers to decide if this is real or not.
