I had the pleasure of serving with CPT Matt Gallagher in Hawaii. I highly recommend both "Kaboom" and "Fire and Forget." Great books. Looking forward to "Youngblood" sir. All Cav!!!

Another question, actually -- CPT Matt Gallagher, when is your next book coming out, and what is it going to be about?

You are a good pal for this question, my man! My next book is a novel entitled "Youngblood." It's set during the American withdrawal from Iraq, so a couple years after we were there. It'll be published in February 2016 by Atria/Simon and Schuster. (It's available for preorder now, for anyone interested, at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, IndieBound, etc.)

Though it's fiction, my hope is that it'll resonate with veterans of OIF and the Global War on Terror. I'm a writer who believes good fiction can find a deep emotional texture and resonance that's just as powerful as the "truth" and reality. Storytelling is a part of all of us, of course.

CPT Matt Gallagher, Why do you have Scott Baio as your profile picture?

This is great. One of my former NCOs calls me Bieber all the time on Facebook, though Scott Baio may be a better comparison.

What can I say, after 4 years of ROTC and 4 years of active-duty having only buzz cuts, I love having a mop of boy-band hair. I'm afraid if I ever cut it it won't grow back the same
