Letters from the "War Front": One Soldier's Tales of Basic Training

By Marie Chiarito

Letters from the "War Front", is a front row seat to the unfiltered, brutally honest, and often hilarious mind of a new recruit learning the ropes. Written by my son during his time in basic training, these letters are part battlefield report, part stand-up comedy, and part "what did i just read?"

With a very healthy dose of sarcasm, colorful language, and the kind of military humor that only makes sense when you're sleep deprived and knee-deep in push-ups, these pages capture the real ups and downs of training for service. While some expressions may raise an eyebrow outside of the military, they're written with love, wit, and the kind of honesty that will make you laugh out loud.

But beyond the humor, this book has a purpose. My oldest brother served multiple tours in Afghanistan and later died by suicide. Because far too many of our veterans- roughly 1 in 22- share the same struggle, a portion of every sale will be donated to veteran-run nonprofits working to prevent veteran suicide.

This book is for anyone who wants to laugh, honor the grit and humor of our service members, and support a cause that matters deeply.
