Description

Patrick Roy was born in Waterville, Maine, in 1947. This book, Memoirs, My Army Days During The Cold War 1965 Through 1968, tells readers about the day-to-day life of a soldier stationed in West Germany, on duty and off duty.
This is where my book takes you: back in time, through my Army experience as an 18-year-old, I entered the Army directly after graduating from high school...much to my mother's frustrations. I started with training in New Jersey, went to Louisiana, and then across the Atlantic to Germany. I give readers a firsthand, day-to-day account of the life of a soldier during the Cold War. I recount humor-filled and extracurricular events in addition to the strict and severe command of Army rules.
Most notable, however, are all of the shenanigans I and other soldiers in my company would get up to. Each chapter chronicles a different phase of training, a memorable event, or a new location where duty brought them. The book reveals themes of curiosity, fun, and, of course, if you can imagine being in the mind of a 19-year-old man in the army: girls. "There's much humor and no politics involved."
I also traveled to other countries besides England, including a few trips to the Netherlands (Amsterdam) and the beaches on the North Sea. I visited many places of interest and even took a hike up the Alps in southern Germany.
