In 1976, a boy with history walked up the gangplank of the USS America as an ordinary airman. Three years later, he was cat-shot off the boat for the last time as "Cap'n Drift." Rebel, MIL-SPEC toker and airplane catcher extraordinaire, Cap'n Drift departed with a new chapter written into his history, but he left more than he took. A Little Sex, A Lot of Dope and an Aircraft Carrier is the first deck-edge perspective of a Kitty Hawk-class supercarrier in the navy that was: grease-stained, rolled in Turkish papers and screaming on afterburner. This is not an authorized history. Fact-checkers have been silenced by any means necessary. Cap'n Drift is not a real officer. But this story is as real as it gets.

Nothing in Reserve invites the reader to an intimate glimpse of one soldier's journey to Iraq and back. True stories set in wartime, these are not war stories. Jack Lewis offers an unexpectedly vulnerable glimpse into one of the timeless tests men have faced: going to war, and returning home. While the veteran will find honesty and truth within, this book brings a fresh insight to anyone interested in what it is we ask of our soldiers. Early stories give an authentic and often funny glimpse of military life, building to a crisis of self all too common among returning soldiers. Exploring the universal human question of how we move through our lives, acknowledging mortality and pain without becoming lost within it, Jack shares with us his own journey toward elusive redemption.
