Description

What differentiates a "sea story" from a "war story"? Humor, of course. War stories tend to be dark and show the pain of military life. But sea stories find the humor of serving in uniform. Tales from the Green Side is a collection of sea stories told through the eyes of United States Navy FMF (Fleet Marine Force) Hospital Corpsmen serving alongside their Marine counterparts. It is a hilarious compilation of short stories and illustrations of charters whose language and tone capture the essence of being a "Green Side" Corpsman. Most of all, the stories capture the bond between Marines and their Doc. Tales from the Green Side will keep you laughing from start to finish. For the families of those Green Side Warriors, their friends, and those who want to know more, Tales from the Green Side will provide a peak behind the curtains. Gilpen and Creager transport the reader to a cozy bar stool, a pint in hand, surrounded by great company to listen to the hilarious exploits of "Green Side" Corpsmen and their Marines. Don't miss this first book in the forthcoming Barstool Short Story Anthology Collection published by8404 Publishing, LLC. Read more

Had some time to myself this morning and knocked out this one. Johnnie Gilpen does a nice job with this one. Gilpen pens a good book around the funnier side of wearing the uniform. It’s nice to read one that isn’t doom and gloom. Great job looking forward checking out more from him.

    • Great Book shows the respect for our Navy DOCS who were there when need by the Marines.
I worked with the illustrator Rob C in the fire service great guy who would make cartoons for people promoted and when you did something dumb or funny you would get Creager drawing.

    • A fun and stirring read!
I fell into this book as soon as I started reading it. It’s written like you’re sitting at the bar beside the author, and the stories are well woven. I was lucky enough to serve with the author during my short time in the Marines, and this is a fantastic book, written by a fantastic Corpsman. You will not be disappointed. ... show more

    • Bravo Doc Gilpen! 🇺🇸
Wow! This one is hitting me right in the feels! As an FMF Corpsman myself, Johnnie's path and mine have most certainly brushed. We shared a BAS. Any way, this book is exactly what I needed at this point in my life. It's made me more reminiscent and patriotic. I'm ordering copies for my pops and son to help them understand some of the jibberish that comes out of my mouth. If you're any type of military reader, this a must read! ... show more

    • A funny, good read; well written.
As a retired Navy FMF Corpsman, I could easily relate to the humor in this collection of stories. This book is an enjoyable read even if you have no military medical experience. The book provides amazing insight into the comraderie enjoyed amongst the medical personnel and the troops they care for.
