About Slurp Sends!: On Becoming A Green Beret
Reflections and Experiences of a Vietnam War Green Beret A-Team MemberThis book describes what led up to the author becoming a “Green Beret,” including the more than a year of training he endured in reaching that goal. U.S. Army Special Forces was just beginning to accept SF trainees from raw recruits in 1962, when he volunteered. Prior to that, only non-commissioned officers (NCOs) could join SF.The first of a series of three books that describe Dick’s experiences as a “Green Beret,” most of book #1, “On Becoming a Green Beret,” will take readers who have endured the same training back to their own experiences, while those who haven’t will learn a lot about what training was like in those days, as well as feeling like they’re living through the same training and experiences Dick endured. Aiding in Dick’s recollections of his past come mostly from the hundreds of letters home, which were saved, and are now his. He also still has more than five hundred photographs he took along his journey, especially in Ethiopia and South Vietnam. He also has more than a hundred binders of research materials to support his historical memories.“Now that I’ve read Slurp Sends!, I can’t wait for his next book. It’s a masterpiece, weaving American history in the 50s/60s with Dick James growing up delivering papers in Oakland, every detail on entering the Army, training to be a Green Beret and Special Forces unique niche in military history.” —John Stryker Meyer, author of SOG Chronicles, Across the Fence, and On the Ground
