What It Means To Serve: From Airborne Ranger To Peace Corps VolunteerFrom Somalia to North Korea and on to the former Soviet Union, What It Means to Serve: From Airborne Ranger to Peace Corps Volunteer is the intriguing and witty account of Robert Donayres six years of service for the U.

From Somalia to North Korea and on to the former Soviet Union, What It Means to Serve: From Airborne Ranger to Peace Corps Volunteer is the intriguing and witty account of Robert Donayres six years of service for the U.S. Federal Government in two undoubtedly conflicting organizations the U.S. Army and Peace Corps. At the age of seventeen, Donayre enlists to become an airborne ranger, young and unsure of the uncertainties that surround his future. As he becomes immersed in military life, he finds himself traveling, drinking, and meeting women during short, army-allotted excursions. When his four-year contract comes to an end, Donayre spends seven years earning his masters degree and then decides to do the unthinkable: join the famously liberal Peace Corps. Assigned to Moldova, a small country in the former Soviet Union, he becomes engrossed in a politically conflicted culture thats notoriously intertwined with corruption and poverty. Donayres two-year stint as a teacher of English as a foreign language at the university level allows him to view, first hand, the effects of a broken nation on an emerging generation of workers. What It Means to Serve: From Airborne Ranger to Peace Corps Volunteer is a memoir that takes its readers through a range of politically charged emotions as Donayre openly engages in the dualities of war and peace.

Works Great!!
Color: 5-in-1 Black & Silver, Size: Rechargeable Set
This is an amazing product! At this price point, I didn’t expect it to perform as well as it did. I have used it to open 4 different bottles of wine, and it worked really well. I docked one star because there is no outward charge status indicator (e.g. an LED to show charging, charged, or needs charging). A nit pick perhaps, but I find it an inconvenience.
