About the book: 2016 / In a sparkling and fascinating form, the author tells his reader the story of how he became a military man. The stubborn road to entering college. Not easy, but in their own way, memorable years studying at TVOKU. Exams, which became a separate milestone in the author’s life. Serving in the GSVG as a full-fledged officer. On each page there is another story from the life of Iskandar, another story about a soldier’s ingenuity, life-affirming attitude and officer exploits that the military, as we know, are capable of performing even in peacetime in the rear, because it is impossible otherwise. But if the reader thinks that the book is a collection of only flat jokes and soldier gags, then the author hastens to warn that this is not so. These stories are for those who served in the army, are serving in it, or are just about to. And, as in life, in stories there is a place for both a joke and a serious look.
