The Military Chronicles Book I - INDOC Before the bullets. Before the battlefield. Before they earned the right to wear the uniform, they were just two young men trying to survive in the shadows of East Los Angeles. This is not a war story. Not yet. This is a story of choice. Of escape. Of becoming. The Military Chronicles: Book One follows Chino and Homeboy as they navigate the turbulent space between adolescence and adulthood-caught between the gravity of the streets and the distant promise of the military. When a series of personal failures, broken systems, and silent griefs push them to the edge, they do what many do when the world offers no direction: they enlist. Through fractured friendships, last-chance classrooms, and hard truths delivered over cheap meals and long nights, Chino and Homeboy begin a transformation neither fully understands. The military looms as both a way out and a reckoning. And beneath their banter and bravado lies something deeper: a desperate need to matter, to protect, and to belong. Across these pages, you'll witness: - The weight of unspoken trauma in working-class families. - The humor used to shield pain and the loyalty that outlasts it. - The real-world tension of recruiters, decisions made under pressure, and the unknowns of military service. - A bond forged not in boot camp, but in survival-long before war ever entered the picture. Told in a grounded, cinematic voice shaped by lived experience, this opening volume sets the tone for a series that does not glamorize war, but neither looks away from it. It honors those who served-not just with weapons, but with kindness, sacrifice, and the quiet strength to keep going when everything else falls apart. The Military Chronicles is a rare portrait of military life from the inside out. It captures what most war stories skip: the decision to serve, the fear of being forgotten, and the uneasy truth that for some, the military is not a calling-it's the only option left. If you've ever wondered what leads someone to trade their name for a number, their clothes for a uniform, their freedom for duty-this is where that story begins. For readers of Jarhead, Matterhorn, and Generation Kill-and for every veteran, service member, or family left waiting on a phone call that never came. This is the war before the war. This is the bond before the blood. This is The Military Chronicles.
