Fort Living Room

<p>Kenneth Lugo asked to be a recruiter even though it came with a reputation of being a thankless job that required long hours.</p><p>Suddenly instead of using a firearm he was taught how to use a laptop. Pushing keys became much more important than pulling triggers.</p><p>It was a huge adjustment for him and his peers with some of them changing from driving armored fighting tanks to compact cars. Instead of killing techniques they were taught interpersonal skills.</p><p>At times he found himself worrying that his post-traumatic stress disorder would get in the way of his learning. Flashbacks from his time in Iraq could creep into his mind at any time and it was never fun.</p><p>In this memoir he shares how he dealt with PTSD how he embarked on a new military career and the challenges a military recruiter must overcome as they encourage people to fight for their country.</p>
