Michael A Sciales
Class of 1971
I just published a memoir about my time as a JAG (lawyer) in the USAF from 1988 until 2004. It's not staid, or some lawyer story, it is about all the people I met along the way from the Cold War in Europe and the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, through the Drugs Wars in central America, to Korea, Egypt, and finally Kuwait -- just before the USS Cole got blown up and 9-11. One reviewer said:
"Immensely entertaining and contemporary look into the life and times of a JAG Officer. I laughed, I cried, I held my sides. A good read. Think a bit Tom Robbins, a bit Patrick McManus, a bit Hawkeye Pierce. Highly recommended."
Another said, "Through a collection of entertaining and well-woven vignettes Major Mike Sciales shows how things get done in the insular world of the United States Military. He is a delightful story teller with admirable attention to detail. If you enjoyed J.D Vance’s memoir, Hillbilly Elegy,” you’ll like COMBAT JAG” even more.”
If you knew me back when, you'll want to read this book.
