The events of World War II thrust young Marine Corps recruit Ralph
T. Eubanks into a world he could not have imagined as a boy growing
up on a farm in western Arkansas. This firsthand account of his
experiences - based on recollections, research and numerous letters
to his family and sweetheart back home - chronicles the tense and
uncertain years of his service in the Marines. Eubanks describes
his admiration for the traditions and glorious history of the
Marine Corps that convinced him to join. We follow the adventures
of this young recruit through his weeks of boot camp, intense
training as an aviation ordnanceman, service in the Pacific combat
zone, marriage to Betty Carty, trials of officer candidate school,
preparations and execution of the occupation of Japan, and his
eventual return to civilian life. Along the way, the farm boy from
Arkansas is transformed into a model soldier who lives the maxim
"once a Marine, always a Marine" the rest of his life. This is a
rare glimpse into the everyday trials of a World War II Marine
during one of our country's most trying periods.
