From his early days in West Virginia as a driven young athlete to the battlefields of three wars, John shares a no-holds-barred account of how drugs played a role in his life.
He doesn't shy away from discussing which substances helped him cope and which ones led him down a darker path. This conversation is a goldmine for anyone in the military, new recruits, and even those in the Veterans Administration who want to grasp the human side of military drug culture. John’s stories are both eye-opening and humorous, offering a unique perspective on the often misunderstood world of drugs in the armed forces.
