“Such lessons, sprinkled with personal anecdotes and hammered home with pictures and stories, are imparted throughout the author’s series of Career Soldier books. Think of them as her memoirs. Throughout “In My Own Words,” “Confessions of an Airborne Soldier,” and “Career Soldier,” Dugar recounts growing up on the South Side of Chicago during the 1960s and her eventual rise through the ranks of the Air Force, becoming in the process the first female airborne policewoman in Fort Bragg’s 118th MP Airborne Unit.” – Simon Murray (June 5, 2015 from DailyNorthShore — jwcdaily.com)
