WASHINGTON, Iowa, July 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Stan Stoop, born in Washington, Iowa, has completed his new book "Good Days and Better Days": a captivating collection of autobiographical stories.
Author Stan Stoop writes, "Anyway, one day, following some thought on the subject of how I was gonna quit drinking and stay out of trouble, I came up with the idea that I had to get out of there—that maybe a different duty station would solve the problem. And that was just another bad idea that wasn't gonna work out, no matter what, but I didn't know that at the time. I approached the company gunnery sergeant on the first opportunity I had. It was at the end of the day and the end of the work week. I'd seen him coming across the grinder, so I hailed him to wait up. I caught up and informed him I wanted the next volunteer orders in my MOS (military occupational specialty) to go back to Vietnam. His reply was that it was okay, but this being a Friday, he wasn't going to tell me that orders had come in for me until Monday. Really! I asked him if he knew where I was going, figuring I would be doing something in communications—you know, something in the field I'd been trained for. Not the case. I was being sent to Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, and the gunny did not know what I would be doing for work for sure. He said it was an MOS number he didn't recognize, said it was something 'new' for the Corps."
