“Look at that! You see that? You see Lieutenant Bozung? That guy’s going places. You know how I know? Just look at him. Any time, day or night, he looks like he just took a shower. Amazing.”
“Dan Bozung’s comments at Harvard were a unique combination of sharp, acerbic, and humble. I could listen to him all day. And now, with this book, I can! Top Gun meets Office Space in Dan’s wonderful memoir of post-military civilian life.”
