Bullets Don't Fly: A Supply Marine's Memoir

David Kim

4.9/5 (23052 ratings)

Description:Not every Marine carries a rifle into combat. Some carry clipboards, spreadsheets, and the weight of keeping an entire mission running. Bullets Don't Fly is the memoir of a supply Marine—one of the thousands who serve in support roles that rarely make headlines but make everything else possible. From the brutal transformation of boot camp at MCRD San Diego to deployments across three continents, David Kim chronicles eight years of service in the often-invisible world of military logistics—and the decades that followed when the lessons of the Corps would be tested in ways no training could prepare him for.This isn't a war story filled with firefights and heroic charges. It's something harder to an honest account of military life as most service members actually experience it. The tedium and the camaraderie. The paperwork and the pressure. The pride of keeping complex systems running under impossible conditions—and the frustration of doing essential work without recognition.David's journey takes readers The crucible of Marine Corps recruit training and the identity-stripping process that builds warriors from civiliansOperation Native Fury in Kuwait, where a young supply clerk innovates inventory systems using barcode scanners and student ID cardsOperation Vigilant Warrior in Saudi Arabia, standing at the edge of potential combat as Iraqi forces mass near the Kuwaiti borderOperation Foal Eagle in South Korea, where Kim's Korean heritage and language skills transform a routine deployment into something deeply personalThe complicated transition from military precision to civilian uncertaintyThe fall that came after—betrayal, bankruptcy, divorce—and the rebuilding that proved the Corps had done its jobWoven throughout is the story of a first-generation Korean-American raised in Riverside, California—a kid caught between immigrant expectations and his own search for identity, who found purpose and brotherhood in an unlikely place. Bullets Don't Fly is for veterans who served in support roles and have waited for a book that validates their service. It's for military families who want to understand what their loved ones experienced. And it's for anyone curious about the 90% of military life that Hollywood never shows.The bullets don't fly in supply.
