Sheila McDonough Goes ”Behind the Spoon Army Basic Training”

Sheila McDonough chose to enlist in the U.S. Amy when she was a 30 year old mother of two. She found it to be the perfect place to be as she searched for her path in life. And she has written this book to help young people consider letting Army training open their eyes to possibilities. Or share it with their parents who may be resistent to the idea. It was the Army that led Sheila to make Alaska her home for close to 20 years. It was the Army that gave her management skills. She has a B.A. in journalism from the University of New Hampshire and, in true jounalistic style, made copious notes of her experiences in the Army that led to this personal look at the benefits of military training.
