SP4 Kirk. My Remembrances of Life at Tompkins Barracks. San Antonio: Sweetwater Stagelines, 2015. ISBN: 978-0-9801743-9-7 . 302 pages, 6X9 Tradecloth. Includes B&W photos by the author. A memoir. This is a brief look at three years in the life of a college-educated soldier drafted during the Vietnam war. It is one soldier's experiences, opinions, and frustrations, and the resultant rage he came away with because of his unwillingness to adapt to his situation. He made history with Project Orange Peel, a military protest that should have put him in the stockade. And, while stationed in West Germany, he came to the conclusion that something was horribly wrong with the military system. This book is written for those who were there.
