End Of Active Service

"End of Active Service is a novel that follows Dean Decker as he transitions back home to civilian life in northern Indiana from the Marine Corps after two deployments to Iraq. Dean struggles with what he sees as a shattered identity--who he was before the Marines, what he has done in combat, and who he might someday be. He wants to leave his four years of enlistment and two combat deployments behind, but finds himself missing the brutal simplicity of the military and fumbling to navigate what he thinks of as the real world, as well as a past life he ignored and had all but forgotten while enlisted."--
