The Thousand Mile Stare

Andrea V. Machuca shares the story of a young, inexperienced adolescent going into an entire different world. This world consisted of discipline, responsibility, and endless possibilities. That young, inexperienced adolescent is Andrea V. Machuca. That so called different world is the United States Navy. She enlisted when she was 18, freshly graduated from High School. She didn't know what to expect. She saw an opportunity and jumped on it. There are many books out there explaining the different views on the military, in this case, the United States Navy.
