I am considering writing a book about my military and personal experiences, nothing classified or overly sensitive, but what factors should I consider?

Subjects may include balancing military and civilian life, depression, leadership, COVID, and first deployment.

Outside of a dedication page, I'm not sure how into detail I want to go into names, etc.

If they didn't sign a release, then make up names for them.

SPC (Join to see) Identifying fellow Soldiers by their home of record seems to work well.

Write what you know and if it’s for publication, you’ll need to
- attribute quotes etc to their originators
- if required, submit the manuscript to DA to have it cleared.
