Humping Heavy: A Vietnam Memoir

After serving a cushy nine months in the Army as an accomplished radio instructor in Arizona, Phil Hoffmann suddenly finds himself humping heavy in the jungles of Vietnam. Out of shape, and lugging more than eighty pounds of radio and other gear on his back, he soon falls to failure, ridicule and demotion. Skytroopers in his 1st Cav rifle company look upon him with disdain. Exhausted of energy and emotionally beaten, he somehow finds the strength to fight back…and this just dealing with the good guys. Add a foreign enemy he must face halfway around the world and a unique, humor-laced wartime memoir unfolds.
