Tales From the Green Side: Volume 1 - Paperback

What differentiates a "sea story" from a "war story"? Humor, of course. War stories tend to be dark and show the pain of military life. But sea stories find the humor of serving in uniform. Tales from the Green Side is a collection of sea stories told through the eyes of United States Navy FMF (Fleet Marine Force) Hospital Corpsmen serving alongside their Marine counterparts. It is a hilarious compilation of short stories and illustrations of charters whose language and tone capture the essence of being a "Green Side" Corpsman. Most of all, the stories capture the bond between Marines and their Doc.

Tales from the Green Side will keep you laughing from start to finish. For the families of those Green Side Warriors, their friends, and those who want to know more, Tales from the Green Side will provide a peak behind the curtains. Gilpen and Creager transport the reader to a cozy bar stool, a pint in hand, surrounded by great company to listen to the hilarious exploits of "Green Side" Corpsmen and their Marines. Don't miss this first book in the forthcoming Barstool Short Story Anthology Collection published by 8404 Publishing, LLC.
