"The best book I've ever read!" - Soto

(Which, to be fair, doesn't mean much. Soto is both in this book and hasn't read many books.)

Most military books go something like this:

I was a hero. I did elite things. Let me tell you about combat.

I wish I were that cool.

But this? This is the version no recruiter will ever tell you about.

No epic hero speeches. No battlefield medals.

Just a group of service members stuck overseas during one of the weirdest times in modern history -- the COVID era -- navigating the absurdity, frustration, and accidental comedy of military life.

From Venice to the heat of Somalia, this is the story of Chosen Company:

• Seven countries

• Two continents

• And an unforgettable tour of military bureaucracy, misadventures, and midnight patrols dodging wild German boars.


Some nights ended in laughter. Others in tense silence.

Most of the time, we weren't fighting the enemy -- we were just trying to survive the chain of command, the boredom, and our own bad decisions.

This is the military behind the curtain.

The part you don't see in movies.

The stuff the recruiter doesn't mention.

The moments that make you question if anyone is actually in charge -- or if we're all just improvising in uniform.

If you've ever had friends who could make you laugh when everything sucked -- this book is for you.

The Chronicles of the Sober Few is for:

? Veterans who remember the madness

? Civilians who want the real story

? Anyone who's ever tried to stay sane when nothing around them made sense
