The hilarious diary of a young man's recruitment into, and service in a navy, which, though well equipped and disciplined, remains woefully ill prepared for his arrival and dubious contribution.

Finished it in four sittings. Usually takes me weeks to get through an audiobook. Says a lot about how gripping Biltmore Oswald is.
I almost skipped this one because the title didn't grab me. Really glad I didn't. The content inside is miles ahead of what the description suggests.
The way J. Thorne Smith, Jr. uses stories and examples to illustrate points is really effective. Doesn't feel like a lecture at all — more like a conversation.
I've been in a reading slump for months and this finally broke it. Something about Biltmore Oswald just clicked and now I'm back to listening every day. Grateful for it.
