Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Katrina Hodge is a tomboy. Katrina Hodge is a soldier. Katrina Hodge is a beauty queen. Katrina Hodge is a role model. Most importantly, she has proved that these things need not be exclusive. She has done this with a combination of hard work and charm, and a total convicition that you can achieve anything you set your heart on. Lance Corporal Katrina Hodge joined the Adjutants' General Corps of the British Army at 18. She was posted to Iraq, and awarded a bravery commendation on her return. Then persuaded by a friend to enter a local competition, she won the Tunbridge Wells beauty contest. Qualified to enter the ultimate pageant in Miss England, and egged on by the same friend, she decided to go for it. And she won. So began a whirlwind adventure in which she gained the Miss England crown, all the time using her combat skills to wow the judges in the talent rounds. Kat is dedicated to using the national media platform she has gained in order to promote Army causes, encouraging young women to consider an Army carer and supporting charities like Help For Heroes. She has had a major impact on Miss England in banning the famous swimwear round in favour of a sports round. Kat is breaking the stereotypes surrounding life as a soldier, and redefining what beauty means for young women today. Find out what it's like to enter the Army, to be on desert patrol and to be a girl alongside the lads in a male-dominated world. And discover the heat of the competition in national and international beauty pageants, what it's like to be tracked down by the press, and how it feels to be made up and photographed as part of major modelling campaigns. This is a book about achieveing your dreams. It's the story of an ordinary Home Counties girl who set her heart on proving she could do it.

Book excerpt: In Air Combat, veteran and military author Robert F. Dorr has collected dozens of interviews from combat veterans who have experienced what it’s like to face the enemy in the skies above, from the first days of World War II to the current war on terror. Each story tells a first-hand account of what it’s like to be in the thick of the fight, describes the history, strengths, and weaknesses of each man’s plane in detail, and offers readers a rare glimpse into the minds and hearts of those who dare to fight in the air. From the savage dogfights of World War II to the high-tech missile duels of today, those who wage war in the skies—and the machines they fly—are a breed apart. Pushing themselves to the cutting edge of speed and skill, their battleground is among the clouds—where every fight you survive is a victory. These are their stories—in their own words.
Book Synopsis Waiting for the Word by : Ulmon Bray
Download or read book Waiting for the Word written by Ulmon Bray and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2007-03 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My daughter described the book as "Dad's 'coming of age' statement" and I suppose that's a fairly accurate observation. Its an attempt to describe the successes and failures experienced by individuals who were totally innocent of the standards of military life. With few exceptions, the men - both officers and NCO's - who dominated my tour of duty during World War II, had little or no military background. We were all learning on the go. The average age in our Air Group must have been somewhere in the twenties, at the most, since there were so very many of us just entering our third decade of life. That fact alone supported the notion that our view of the world was based on something other than experience. In my case, in spite of "being on my own" during my senior year in high school and at the post high school Summer session with the Little Theatre of the Rockies at Colorado State, followed by the two or three months working in the Kaiser shipyards in Richmond, California, decisions made during that time weren't all that responsible or independent. Someone was always nearby to monitor, or more accurately, to mentor most of the things I did. And before that there was little or no independent thought or behavior that wasn't shaped or colored by the poverty and pressures of life during the great depression that frustrated any attempt at individual action. On the contrary, effort was concentrated on the well-being and survival of the family as a viable unit. It was selfish and irresponsible to go off on one's own. Even though the Navy provided considerable shelter for its young recruits, and certainly didn't encourage individual behavior over that of the group, it expected responsible compliance with its rules and regulations whether individually or otherwise. And so it was at the age of eighteen years, three months, I entered the maze of activities designed not only to produce an able seaman, but would most certainly turn "boy" into a "man." The events and accompanying experiences that occurred during the several levels of training and more than seven months of combat duty contributed to the growth of technical as well as social skills, which in the long view, might have been of much greater importance. It was the interaction with other people that created the most memorable events that are described here. The military deeds were necessary, but it was the men who supported my efforts to do my share who remain forever on the shadows of my memory.

Download or read book Nomad written by David Alexander and published by Triumvirate Publications. This book was released on 2023-08-23 with total page 1016 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nomad spelled backwards is "Damon" which is similar to the name for a self-configuring, self-actuating computer program that runs in the background, or throughout the digital space inside a computer Tabor was in the matrix room, looking at Armageddon. Projected onto one of the walls was an immense blowup of one of the WIRE hardware drug chips, the core layer known as the "matrix." A technician was explaining how this new plug drug, to be called "Armageddon," would be twice as potent as any drug of its type that had been manufactured before. "We've squeezed in a million more transistors," the tech explained proudly to Tabor. "A hit of one of these can be incredibly addictive." "What's the downside?" Tabor asked the techie. "And why hasn't production on this line been instituted yet?" "Well," answered the tech a little sheepishly, "there have been some problems in our development cycle. I'll show you if you'll permit me." He asked Tabor to come with him. They went from the projection room into the research wing. Here, a thick pane of double-layered glass gave vantage into a testing area. A recording camera was also pointed at the pane of glass, staring into the room like Tabor and the tech were doing. Inside the room beyond the large glass panel were two shaven headed Motherboarder clones in their flowing white robes. The acolytes were sitting on the floor, staring at the walls with blank expressions on their faces. "Everything ready?" the tech asked a woman in a blue laboratory coat like the one he wore who was seated at a console filled with multiple view screens and flashing digital displays

Download or read book Combat Cameraman written by Sgt. Jerry J. Joswick and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OVER THE TARGET... The movie camera in my hands was ready as we entered our run over the oil fields of Ploesti. Cracking towers, smokestacks, huge oil storage tanks and outbuildings almost scraped the Witch’s belly as we let go the incendiaries. Through the camera’s lens I saw a B-24 fly into a barrage balloon cable. The plane spun, corkscrewed to the ground and exploded. Beyond, I saw another smash into a smokestack and instantly dissolve into a fireball. The heat from the storage tank fires turned the Witch into an oven, searing my hair and eyebrows. I swung the camera to see planes crisscrossing, exploding in air, being swallowed up in the raging fires and curling black smoke. Ahead, four hundred deadly German fighters hovered high overhead—waiting for revenge.... This is the thrilling story of Sergeant Jerry Joswick, COMBAT CAMERAMAN Dodging bullets and bombs, he “shot” his way through some of the most savage fighting in World War II, taking memorable pictures of the terrible face of war— —in Africa, on a commando raid behind Rommel’s lines —on the disastrous Ploesti air raid, which he was the only cameraman of sixteen to survive —in the first wave of D-Day on Omaha Beach —in the Battle of the Bulge, where he traded camera for rifle to stay alive —parachuting into Germany with the Airborne Thrills, action, the shock of battle—and the determinate to get the picture, no matter what the danger—make COMBAT CAMERAMAN one of the most thrilling books to come out of the Second World War.

Book excerpt: 2083 AD From the ashes of Earth to the terrifying murk of Cygnus Space, there is no escaping the Viridian Path. In a time of exploration and human ingenuity, mankind languishes captive to the Path's galactic web of tyranny, trapped behind Walls built as much from scorn as from synthetic concrete. To flee the enforced collective is to be hunted to the end of the Galaxy by the Federal Government's coldblooded Reclamation Army. On New America, while the Galaxy's ruling family plays god, their cloned son, Alex Halder, risks everything to bring an end to the Path's ruthless control. Employing the help of an insane Senator and an eclectic band of Freedom Fighters, Alex races to overthrow the Viridian Path even as a Chinese collection armada closes in on America's crumbling capital in search of money the establishment long ago spent. Eternally desperate for other people's money, President Quarterback and the elites of the Path wield cyborgs, trial lawyers and other agents of evil in a bid to maintain absolute power. As Senator Jack Wheeler fights his way back to Earth for a showdown with Washington's elite machine, Alex Halder learns the terrifying truth of the mysterious Kalban people and the sweeping Cygnus Sickness following them from the Void. A captive of his bureaucratic family and consumed by doubt for humanity's salvation, Alex Halder is haunted by the memory of a young girl he has never met and believes he has discovered the source of all human misery.

Book Synopsis War as Spectacle by : Anastasia Bakogianni
Download or read book War as Spectacle written by Anastasia Bakogianni and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War as Spectacle examines the display of armed conflict in classical antiquity and its impact in the modern world. The contributors address the following questions: how and why was war conceptualized as a spectacle in our surviving ancient Greek and Latin sources? How has this view of war been adapted in post-classical contexts and to what purpose? This collection of essays engages with the motif of war as spectacle through a variety of theoretical and methodological pathways and frameworks. They include the investigation of the portrayal of armed conflict in ancient Greek and Latin Literature, History and Material Culture, as well as the reception of these ancient narratives and models in later periods in a variety of media. The collection also investigates how classical models contribute to contemporary debates about modern wars, including the interrogation of propaganda and news coverage. Embracing an interdisciplinary approach to the study of ancient warfare and its impact, the volume looks at a variety of angles and perspectives, including visual display and its exploitation for political capital, the function of internal and external audiences, ideology and propaganda and the commentary on war made possible by modern media. The reception of the theme in other cultures and eras demonstrates its continued relevance and the way antiquity is used to justify as well as to critique later conflicts.
