He talks about every challenge a new recruit or military member will be faced with when they receive the opportunity to put on the uniform of honor. In this book, it is directly targeting financial and phycological concepts that can be taken deliberately or ignorantly. When taken deliberately, it can shift your mindset to Financial Independence. However, when taken ignorantly, you can fall into a common trap aka Financial Debt. Whether it be tips about buying your first car, credit cards, investment advice, travel hacking, or having the attitude of gratitude, this book probably and possibly covered every question a new military aspiring financial freedom chasing individual might’ve ask. Amazing Book! Hallelujah Jesus because I'm thankful for his life! God bless!
