Recall! Return of the IRR eBook Doug DePew

This is the second book I've read by Doug Depew. This one isn't as exciting or tense as the first, but it still has a place for historians.

The time is 1990. The place Florida. The war-Desert Storm.

Mr. Depew has finished his four year term—two years in Germany and two years in Colorado.

After his honorable discharge, he embarks on his dream job in the music industry. He is less then a month from graduation and obtaining an internship when his father calls and tells him he has a mailgram from Uncle Sam saying, "We Need You." He, like tens of thousands of others have been called up to finish up the initial contracts they signed with the military to defend "our" country.

As you can imagine, lives for thousands of men and women were turned upside down with the notice. Yet instead of fleeing or trying to find an out, they begrudgingly accepted the orders and reported for duty. How many of us have complained about our daily jobs and lives when everything we plan doesn't go exactly as anticipated and raise holy hell over being inconvenienced? One would think the world came to an end. It was only a small pothole in our journey. Those who were recalled ran straight into a mountain!

His unit was whipped into shape in Georgia then shipped to Germany for potential deployment to Iraq. in the end, the war ended so quickly, the unit was quickly disbanded and sent home. Now comes the real challenge. Will he return to finish his education or has his life been dramatically changed in nine short months? You'll have to read the book for the answer.

I fear many casual readers will not find this a compelling work. If that is true, then they missed the message the book is sending. Adversity is what we make of it and how he overcome it. I salute the men and women (like Mr. DePew) whose lives were uprooted to defend our great nation. We, the American people, SALUTE YOU!

A find job Mr. DePew.

Recall! Return of the IRR eBook Doug DePew Reviews

I had the pleasure of reading Author DOUG DePEW'S "SAT & BAF Memories of a Tower Rat", and could not wait to read his new novel; "RECALL Return of the IRR". Anyone who has served in the United States Army, Air Force, Marine Corps Navy and Coast Guard will definitely enjoy both books. A walk down memory lane to jog your memories, rejuvenate your feelings of brotherhood for those with whom you served, and experienced all the "B_ _ _ S _ _ _", the "HURRY UP . . . and WAIT" of military life. One thing that came across loud and clear in Mr. DePew's "RECALL Return of the IRR" is his pride in the United States of America, and his trust and love for the members of his unit(s). I must admit I was worried (probably as much as he was) that I would read of horrible experiences of war in Iraq. I was touched by the "Welcome Home" and parades given to those who answered the call to arms. Each of you deserved it. We did not have that coming home from the Viet Nam war.

Mr. DePew has written a novel that shines through with pride and respect. It gives his readers a very important lesson, that the young men and women who wear the uniforms of our Armed Forces can sleep well knowing our Constitution, our Bill of Rights and the freedoms we all take for granted are PROTECTED 24 hours a day, seven days a week, holidays included by the best, brightest equipped and trained military forces on this earth.

I salute you, Sir and thank you for your Service in both the United States Army and the United States Navy Reserves.
I am glad to know your life has turned out so well, your family can be very proud. You are a true PATRIOT.

One of my Sergeants, ART PARNELL is (was) from "The Ozarks in Missouri", as he would proudly say. I loved my travels through the 'Show Me' State, it is indeed, as Doug DePew says, 'Beautiful'!

I should say two things up front First, this book in general is for people who have a military background. Also possibly for family members of people who are/were in the military. Secondly, a mature audience rating is recommended.

As for the book itself, it is autobiographical. It sheds light on the author and his background. I never read Doug DePew's first book, SAT & BAF! Memories of a Tower Rat, but I feel sure that I will at some point in the near future.

Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed Recall! Return of the IRR. I could plainly visualize the events as they were unfolding. I'm former U.S. Air Force so it wasn't difficult to do. In addition, I was a dependent spouse to an U.S. Army Reservists who participated in Operation Desert Storm. So the book took on a more personal feel as it progressed. There are humorous parts of the book as well, I was reminded of the movie Stripes in some parts but you'll have to read the book to understand why.
Recall! Return of the IRR is a well-written account of a very unique military experience. Author Doug DePew describes being ordered back to active duty in support of Operation Desert Storm in vivid detail.

I estimate that I've written over 1000 resumes for military personnel looking to transition into civilian jobs. Each one involved spending about an hour talking about various aspects of military life with each soldier. I thought I had a strong handle on the military experience until I read this book. DePew does an excellent job of capturing numerous facets of military life that never make it to the silver screen or the dinner tables of America.

The story is communicated in a manner that is easily understood by civilians. While acronyms are endemic to the language of the military, DePew steers us through this potential hazard like an experienced tour guide driving through a dense forest. Strong editing helped tremendously in this regard. If you're looking for a military memoir that delivers from start to finish, don't miss this book.
