## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Wonderful memoir with humor, tragedy and hope!
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2012*

I loved this book!'Welcome to Hell' describes, in sometimes painful detail, the author's first-hand USMC boot camp experience.  He joined the Marines the day after the September 11th attacks as a very detached and carefree youth and finished 3 ½ months later as a man and a Marine.The journey that the author takes us on is significantly more than a "boot camp story".  Though it does have a vivid explanation of the gritty details of what a Marine-in-training has to endure, it also includes incredibly touching flashbacks through his pre-service life and letters (oftentimes heart-wrenchingly tender) to and from home.  While reading this book, I found myself laughing out loud quite frequently, and being brought to tears more than once.  Since I was never in the military, it was interesting and humbling to see what our service men and women go through during their initial training - it's incredible what daily comforts and routines that I didn't realize I take for granted.Patrick Turley describes his experiences with language and visualization that allows even someone quite removed from the military life to understand and the story unfolds and takes shape right from the beginning.  I was immediately drawn in and emotionally attached to the story and I found it hard to put down to go to sleep.  Turley's writing is so honest and introspective, that you find yourself growing with him as he unravels who he truly is (even during the times you don't want to like him) so much that you physically flinch from his pain!  There appears to be no filler or fluff - this is the real thing.Reading 'Welcome to Hell' has helped me appreciate (even more) what our amazingly brave Marines sacrifice to ensure we get to continue with our assumptions of basic safety that are inherently just accepted as truth.  It's funny, it's touching, it's harsh at times, It's entirely genuine, It's extraordinary!

    A descriptive title
  

*by P***H on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2019*

The making of Marines intrigues me, this one gave more details of the individual trainining (gas chamber , crucible). Another book “Rhis Recruit”  have greater detail on The DI experiences (IT & Quarterdeck treatment

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An outstanding insight of the world of the Marine Recruit
  

*by F***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2012*

In the book, "Welcome To Hell", Patrick Turley writes about his personal transformation from an "every day Joe" into a United States Marine. Unlike many other books about Marine Boot Camp, this book offers insight into the mind of the recruit as he endures the grinding and difficult process that transforms young American civilians into members of the the worlds finest military organization.His story is based on his experiences during his time as a recruit at the Marine Corp Recruit Depot in San Diego California in 2001. The book offers any parent of a young Marine at MCRD San Diego an understanding to commonly held questions like "Why doesn't my son write every day?" or "What do recruits do if they are in boot camp over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year?" and most importantly how important those "letters from home" really are to the recruit.As a father of a recruit who is currently at MCRD, I found the book to be both deeply emotional and honest about the world that is experienced by the recruit.To anyone who has ever wondered how someone becomes a Marine, this book gives insight to that process in a way that few books ever do. To anyone who has ever wondered why someone would ever want to become a Marine, this book also gives you one mans deeply moving and emotional answer.
