Summary

From Jimmy Blackmon comes a blow-by-blow account of his journey through the most challenging leadership and small tactics course in the world - US Army Ranger School. Through colorful dialogue and vivid storytelling for which Jimmy Blackmon has been praised, the listener will take a journey through Ranger School.

From the nervous anticipation leading up to the course, to the extreme pain and suffering Ranger School demands, Jimmy shares the feelings and emotions that accompany extreme sleep and food deprivation. Furthermore, he shares what he learned about himself along the way. 

Ranger School is designed to replicate the extreme nature of combat in a multitude of environments. The attrition rate is more than 50 percent. Jimmy openly shares how he dealt with extreme hunger, exhaustion, below-freezing temperatures, and ultimately, a desire to quit and end the suffering.

Despite all the aforementioned challenges, Ranger students must lead one another on complex missions in harsh terrain in order to succeed. How to motivate, inspire, and lead in such an extreme environment is powerful and will appeal to leaders of all types and in all industries.

Eye-opening.....jaw-dropping....informative

...as a non-military female who spent a lot of time with Vietnam vets, I've heard and felt a lot but this was an engrossing view into a world unto its own!!! The bonus is listening to the author tell his own truth with a wonderful southern twang i miss hearing....thanks for sharing!
