Bob Anderson talks about this in his new book, Sarge, What Now? An NCO, known as Sergeant in most military branches, plays a critical role in getting the mission completed for any military organization. The Commanding Officer provides vision and direction; however, it's the NCO--the "Sarge"-- that makes it happen.
Sarge, What Now? addresses important subjects such as the role of the NCO, the Officer/NCO relationship and leadership and followership. It also provides history and insight into what it means to become an NCO and progress through the ranks to the highest NCO rank of E-9.
Jerry M. Bullock, Colonel, USAF (Ret) has this to say in the Foreword, "If you are an NCO, it will give you insight on how to advance. If you are a commander, buy one for all of your NCO's...then sit down and read it yourself."
In Chapter 16, entitled "War Stories," Sarge, What Now? honors the seldom understood and often under-appreciated G.I. with their own stories of humor, old scars, past enemies and the brotherhood only shared by those who "have been there, done that!"
Sarge, What Now? is written by Bob Anderson, the son of a World War II infantryman who was awarded the Silver Star. The book is partly autobiographical and partly historical; so whether you are currently in the military, a veteran, or a family member of a military member or veteran, there is something in this book for everyone.
