A Little from one of the books Green Side Out A collection of funny, sad and poignant "letters" relating the experiences of two professional Marines, truthfully telling it like it was in the fifties, sixties, and seventies. Laugh with the inept antics of "Trash Five," the battalion XO; Monk Monaco, the constant practical joker; Bill Koontz, a legend among Marine tankers; and those other magnificent little Green Men who make up the Corps of Marines. The glossary, contained in the beginning of the book, is sufficient reason to add this book to your collection. A sample: "MUSTANG -- Officer with prior enlisted service. Easily identifiable at social gatherings, as they group together, scratch their asses and drink beer." 333 pages.
