Tommy Raw


Book Description

Sometimes people say and do things that just make you sit back and wonder. Well, this book is definitely three chapters of pure wonderment! It all begins innocently enough within the womb then guides you on a path of fifth grade laughter and hi-jinx. Each tale contains real life situations that will surely bring a smile to your face. In fact, they're almost therapeutic as they confirm the fact that yes, there is actually someone out there in the world more moronic than yourself! Now isn't that a comforting thought! Stories from childhood through high school, to a three-year stint with the United States navy, right up to present day, only proves one thing. That years and experience of life mean absolutely nothing if you can't look back on them and have yourself a good hearty laugh! Hopefully some of the stories within this book will help to stir up a few entertaining memories from your own past. Remember.. memories are the fuel powering our sanity! Welcome to Tommy's world!

Tommy This an' Tommy That


Book Description

There is nothing new about the military covenant, a freshly minted term for something that's been around for as long as soldiering itself. 'Tommy' may have to make the ultimate sacrifice for his country. But what will his country do for him? Over centuries the covenant has been variously honoured and ignored. Confronted daily with flag-draped coffins, shameful stories of inadequate kit and shocking images of the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan: what exactly are we doing to honour those who sacrifice all in the service of their country? In Tommy This an' Tommy That Andrew Murrison uses his perspective as a senior Service doctor and frontline politician to set the events of the past ten years in historical context. He charts the ways in which societal and political changes have impacted on the wellbeing of uniformed men and women, and the nation's changing sense of obligation towards the military. Crucially he asks what the future holds for the military covenant.
