Follow Sam Bott as he leaves Fort Benning's Infantry Officer Candidate Course rushing towards Fort Bragg, and earning his Special Forces' Green Beret.
 Sam's adventures resemble a parachute jump. His drop zone is full of training exercises, the Double BB's, friendlies, partisans, marriages, mother-in-laws, new Army nurses, and Vietnam's Central Highlands.
Sam faces the challenges of commanding an A-team, building and defending a fortified Jarai village, snipers, operating with the people, and learning to be a husband.
 Sam's life's journey takes him along many twisted green roads.
