Incoming-Sex, Drugs, and Copenhagen

Book excerpt: The Incoming anthology series presents Volume 2: Sex, Drugs, and Copenhagen - a collection of true stories told by the men and women of America's military, inspired by the boredom and escapism that's infamous to anyone who's served in the armed forces. Now they're going to let you in on some secrets, with all the vulnerability, dark humor, and surreal subject matter veteran writers do best when at their best.One of the military's favorite sayings is "complacency kills," but it does a whole lot more than that. The interminable "hurry up and wait"-ing, endless hours on post, and separation from friends and family can drive otherwise reasonable people to do very unexpected things, and you'll hear all about them in these pages from those who lived it.
