'Lifer is an insightful behind-the-curtain look into the life and career of a US Army Infantry paratrooper and a must read for other combat veterans regardless of service.'-Colonel Carl D. Matter, US Marine Corps (Retired)'...a gripping and inspirational journey, reflecting the resilience and dedication required of our soldiers.'-Major Roberto Lainez, US Army (Retired)Nathan Aguinaga didn’t enlist in the Army planning to be a career soldier-a 'lifer'-but the Army had other plans. He entered the world of light infantry in one of the nation’s top-tier rapid-deployment military units in the early 1990s and would continue for most of the next twenty years as a part of the famed 82nd Airborne Division. Lifer is the comprehensive account of his career journey as a paratrooper, drill sergeant, Army Ranger, and combat veteran.From the high-tempo daily life of the 82nd Airborne Division to a year spent on the Korean DMZ to time spent as a drill sergeant to the daunting task of successfully completing Ranger School to his time spent in Iraq and even to a support deployment in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Master Sergeant (Retired) Aguinaga tells his unvarnished story of Army life-the trials and tribulations, the joys and sorrows, and the humor found in even the darkest moments of duty.
