From the harsh realities of basic training to post-war chaos in Iraq and knife-edge tension in Northern Ireland, Squaddie takes us to a place not advertised in army recruitment brochures. It exposes the grim reality of everyday soldiering for the 'grunts on the ground'. After the tragic death of his brother, and in the dark days following 9/11, McLaughlin felt compelled to fulfil his lifelong ambition to serve in the army. He followed his late brother into the elite Royal Green Jackets and passed the arduous Combat Infantryman's Course at the age of 31. Thereafter, McLaughlin found himself submerged in a world of casual violence. Squaddie is a snapshot of infantry soldiering in the twenty-first century. It takes us into the heart of an ancient institution that is struggling to retain its tough traditions in a rapidly changing world. All of the fears and anxieties that the modern soldier carries as his burden are laid bare, as well as the occasional joys and triumphs that can make him feel like he is doing the best job in the world. This is an account of army life by someone who has been there and done it.

Following on from Anthony's previous books, A Soldiers Son, The Army Catering Corps-Our Memories Volume 1 & 2. A Squaddies Journey finds him following on from being a soldiers 'Brat' and joining the Army Catering Corps as a teenager, and serving soldiers around the world. This book captures many more memories of his time as a 'Squaddie', and the tours he made during the 1970's and 1980's. These encompass his complete army career, with a sprinkling of the 'Pads' family life thrown in for good measure. Also included are a few nuggets of the Corps history at St Omer Barracks. Some veterans may recall a few of these tours, and "Civvies" may be intrigued; From Belize in Central America, the wilderness of Medicine Hat in Canada and East Berlin, with many more tales to boot. This time he has finally accomplished what he set out to do. "They appeared to have great pleasure in taking turns with every soldiers space during bull-nights, ripping army kit out of the lockers, and turning neatly folded bed covers, including the beds, upside down, and then sliding across the accommodation floors with their ammo boots, to scratch up the floor polish!" "The funny thing was, sometime later in our new postings, soldiers caught on and used paint shine called "Morello". So much for Bull-nights! "Sir, my weapons jammed" as he turned the SLR around, pointing it at the Range Officer! We had to stop ourselves laughing, as everyone dived for some cover, and he got a hell of a rollicking"

This book is about some of the time I spent as a soldier, mainly the fun parts of army life, the things we got up to as young soldiersmany funny stories in hindsight. These were good times; however, there were also some bad times. But I have tried to minimise these through sympathy. For some who served with me, some names have been changed to protect those who I felt deserve not to be ridiculed, or maybe embarrassed by others reading about them. however the truth is that we were all in it together what ever we did and you always looked after your lads when the time arose,

When I was seventeen I joined the British Army with the intention of becoming an HGV driver. I was young, foolish and a little out of control. Over the following four years I learned how to fight, drink, and love, enjoying myself immensely along the way. I met some very interesting people and made some amazing friends, with whom I shared a passion for life and excitement. After many mis-adventures and some harsh lessons in life, love and death, I eventually figured out that this had not been one of my best life choices. It was a roller-coaster of a ride and I hope you enjoy the journey almost as much as I did.
