I examination Bob's "Listening to Ghosts' journal and it's a page-turner. we could frequency put it down over a integrate of days. Having lived a identical life, as a former Marine Staff-sergeant, we can contend his book tells how it was to be a serviceman in a 50s-70s, before a troops became overshoot by a buncha lefty politically scold kumbaya sissy-boys.
There are "sea-stories", "fairy tales", and reality. Bob's book tells a existence from that all good sea-stories originate. While in a Marines, we met many of a beer-drinking, whisky-swilling, hell-raising sailors Bob recounts in this good book. One of my good friends during Millington Naval Air Station in a late 60s was a Petty Officer First Class who customarily drank me underneath a table! Like any good sailor, he would take his shipmate (me) over his shoulder and put me out of harm's way.
Thanks for a good read, Bob.

A genuine leader here Mr. Stockton.

Life in a navy is some-more than being on a vessel for a few months. "Listening to Ghosts" is a discourse from Bob Stockton as he ponders his time in a United States Navy and provides a image of opposite time and he comes to readers with most required knowledge and thought, seeking to perform as good as educate. "Listening to Ghosts" is an glorious collect for discourse collections.
