THE AMAZING MEMOIR OF R.W. HERMAN
A wonderful story of travel through life and one person's ability to see some doors close while other opportunities arise.
A young Navy enlisted man achieves a dream of becoming a commissioned officer, only to be assigned to the United States Submarine Service:  one major obstacle, he is not qualified in submarines.  Follow R.W. Herman as he refuses defeat and draws upon inner strength, self-confidence and moral integrity to take a stand "against the current" of the most prestigious fighting force in the world, the Silent Service, fighting for acceptance and a place in the brotherhood of submariners.  A great read for all ages: military and civilian; young people to learn the importance of fortitude, humility, character; the well-established military and civilian leaders to learn the importance of recognizing and accepting individuals for who they are, not who you think they should be.
