(Paperback)
Meet the basic trainees whose lives will never be the same once they meet their Air Force Drill Instructor, Technical Sergeant Joe "Tuffy" Tofuri. He is an Air Training Command (ATC) Master Instructor and a veteran of several years in the basic training program. A hard-nosed T.I. whose vocabulary does NOT contain the word failure, TSgt Tofuri unloads the full force of his training knowledge and attention-getting tactics on his unsuspecting trainees. Join Tuffy, "Bullets" Grogan, and many more T.I.s whose hilarious antics rock the world of basic training in 1968. All of them are led by the most loveable Squadron Commander in the history of basic training-Major Chin Ho Wok. He is a 5' 3" Chinese American whose speech pattern is caught up in the cartoon world of Elmer Fudd! Nothing can stand in the way of Tuffy's Heroes, including the blistering Texas heat, a shootout,a body count, a "white tornado" and, oh yes...a werewolf!

December 03, 2004: Tuffy hits the ball with this book for my preferences. This book is well written and is witty from cover to cover. The chapter about the Lackland Commissary is sooooo funny I couldn't stop laughing! I love the character of Major Wok, an ill speaking Chinese American with a bad temper! Absolutely Hilarious!
