It was about 0215 hours when I was awoken by the first rocket hitting the camp, shortly followed by the second one. I know this because I felt the BOOM! in my chest. A feeling that I had not experienced since I was living on the airfield in Mogadishu, a feeling that I rather hoped I would never have to experience again . . . Seconds later, the Kandahar Airfield air-raid siren sounded . . .
Retired Captain Adam J. Webb provides a genuine glimpse into life in the Canadian Armed Forces, sharing his diverse experiences and professional roles-mobile support equipment operator, infantryman, armoured crewman and cavalryman, medic, nursing officer, and trainee pilot-during a military career spanning three decades that saw him participate in five overseas operations:
- Cyprus, during the first Gulf War, with the 1st Battalion of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry in 1991;
- Somalia with the Canadian Airborne Regiment in 1993 - Cover photo by Guy Voisin;
- Bosnia with the Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) in 1997/98;
- Afghanistan, with the Role 3 Multi-National Medical Unit, in 2006; and
- The South Pacific, on a humanitarian assist mission with the U.S. Navy, aboard the
USS Pearl Harbor.
This is the compelling account of a life that has been brimming with exciting and unique adventures-including meeting high-profile actors and having minor roles in a number of movies during his youth in England-as well as many formidable challenges.
At the heart of the story is the resilience of the human spirit, the importance of perseverance, and a reminder that hope overcomes the greatest of odds.
