A Soldier Against All Odds

A brutally honest tale of a soldier’s unorthodox life, a rogue career, and an often-maverick character not easily aligned with the military credo.

I Am a Soldier Against All Odds, and what follows is a genuine and frank account, the good, the very bad, and the very ugly, of my thirty-one years in uniform.

At age nine, I was diagnosed with osteomyelitis, a crippling bone disease dissolving the bone of my knee that added to my academic challenges and a significant physical disadvantage.
