C.S. Stahlman reflects on his Army experiences during the Cold War through 28 essays, sharing valuable Life Lessons. Aimed at veterans and their families, but also relevant to non-veterans and organizations working with new hires, it functions as both a memoir and a guide for those transitioning from boyhood to manhood, from youth to adulthood. Readers who aren't veterans will gain insight into their veteran parents' experiences, while veterans will recall similar humorous and meaningful moments from their service. The foreword is written by MG (ret.) Byron S. Bagby.

Combining humor and significance, Everything I Needed to Survive in Life I Learned From the U.S. Army is an incredible story of leaving the teen years and becoming an adult. Not just entertaining, it is also instructive for youth today and useful for organizations seeking to develop future young leaders. Entering the Army ROTC program at age 18 and writing at 66, the book is correctly titled FM (Field Manual) 18-66.
