High Speed Publication

This past weekend I had the opportunity to meet and speak with the co-author of this publication, William C. Peterson III. This very intelligent and highly motivated gentleman approached me and some of my friends when he noticed we were holding and talking about The Hooah Schools book. He began to guide us through the book pointing out key factors on the many different schools and what it truly meant to graduate from them. The amount of information provided inside the cover is incredible and I suggest to ALL Soldiers (male and female)here in the U.S. and overseas to invest in this manual. On a seperate note to Mr. Peterson, I look forward to your publications and meeting you again in the future. Capt.Mullins

Incredible

This is a book everyone in the Army should own, and I mean everyone. My friends and I shared the purchase of one copy here at a local book store because we weren't sure what it covered. While we were eating and talking about the book a man approached and began informing us about the contents of this incredible book. His name is William "Pete" Peterson and he is the co-author of The Hooah Schools. William began showing us the vast amount of knowledge contained inside. This book has it all: packing list, history, prerequisites, training and even what to do with your pov and the best part, in my opinion, is the contact information. After talking with William for over an hour we went and bought a copy for each of us. William I thank you for your time and look forward to reading everything you publish regardless of what it is because you are truly a "Moivation".

Great Book

Let me start off by saying this is one incredible piece of work. If you want to advance your career in the U.S. Army this is the book for you. I've been in for 15 years and so have two of my closest friends and a couple of days ago we purchased three copies of this book. The highlite of that day was meeting the Co-Author of this book (William C. Peterson). He shed so much light on the schools listed inside. I've been to some of those schools and so have my friends and this book covered them in detail. I was amazed at the accuracy and amount of information provided. William Peterson you accomplished an incredible task assisting and being co-author of this book. I look forward to joining HALO and keeping in touch with you.

Too Easy, Drill Sergeant, Too Easy!

It is great that DS Bertrand has released this book and has made it "too easy" for folks like myself that wish too attend some of the Hooah Schools to gather all the information we may possibly need. I was at Ft. Benning and assisted in some of the pre-publication revisions of the work and what I remember most was DS Bertrand's attention to detail and his uncompromising attitude in ensuring that this was the most complete and thorough book of its kind. Outstanding work Drill Sergeant!!

Its About Time

First I must confess that I do not yet own this book. The last time I saw the book, it was in its prepublished stage. I am extremely pleased, and not surprised, to see that it has finally been published!! I do offer the following bit of info to any prospective buyers of this book. Robert Bertrand is/was a United States Army Drill Sergeant stationed at Ft. Benning at the time this book was being compiled. He exhaustively researched every school covered in this book. I personally can recall the countless hours he spent in his office researching and checking the information listed in his book. DS Bertrand's intensive attention to detail, and assistance that any information passed on, learned by, or taught to others be 110% correct and precise is a guarantee that all the information contained in his book be just that! I am positive that his book is both informative, and interesting to read. It is a must have for both military personel, and military entheusiasts alike. No other book on the market contains the compiled information in this book. Finally a book that lists all the schools you knew, and didnt know, about, and how you can get into those "HOOAH" schools you always wanted to!! See if you measure up or not!!This book is definitely a must have for all!!
