    About this ebook

    While struggling with the chills of escaping combat’s curse and becoming enthralled with another’s life of compassion, deception and exhilaration, a collection of divergent views emerge. Although the writer had many character-building experiences while serving in the military, for a period she also existed in the desolation of her own psyche, remembering soul-shattering incidents that all readers can relate to. The poems she wrote are combined with journal notes for a deeper understanding of her experiences to distinctly express many of these triumphs and defeats. So go ahead, read on to discover for yourself just what A Drill Sergeant's Fame is all about.

    Kimberly Mae

    During the writer’s short military career, Kimberly gained a deeper appreciation for life and the little pleasures therein. While serving in the US Army for three years as a generator mechanic, she completed one deployment to Afghanistan. Relishing this experience with her two sons Michael and Caleb, it proved to be a lonesome and exasperating yet edifying experience. Kimberly was thereafter blessed with two more sons, Riddick and Kal, while returning to her hometown in Western New York.
