EDMOND, Okla. - Marylandian -- In this biographical memoir, Christian Dattwyler will take you on his journey from a humble, innocent childhood growing up in the Westchester suburbs of New York City to his early high school years filled with introductions to drugs and hard drinking.

A Way Forward, My Years in The Marine Corps reveals how a Marine recruiter pulls out every old trick in the book to compel Christian to sign his life toward four years of government service. The memoir proceeds to delve into his mind and thoughts as he experiences hard as nails Marine recruit training at Parris Island, completes his 'Grunt' training and is assigned to the Fleet Marine Force.

Through the ups and downs, A Way Forward, My Years In the Marine Corps tells the true story of a young man with formerly zero ambitions, evolve to become one who strives to excel at all thing that he does. Christian Dattwyler is not a loser, nor is he a hero or role model. He is just a regular guy who struggles early in life but finds a purpose within the United States Marine Corps. The nineteen-eighties era recollections and stories are not watered-down to make inclusion with today's politically correct fare. They are honest, uncensored, and unvarnished accounts to show that there is hope for any young man or woman that wants to achieve more for themselves out of lives that they may currently feel are out of control or unmanageable.
