I was stationed in Iwakuni Japan when "The Hunt for Red October" came out. Started to read it while on my midnight shift. Could not put it down. I ended up writing a letter to Tom C. thru his publishing company telling how much I appreciated the book and his knowledge of the Military and how he got the smallest details correct.
I ended up like 3 months later getting a very nice letter from him thanking me for my service to the county. Then he explained to me how amazed he was with the military and how he had more books coming. Since that time I have been a Big Tom C. fan. Great Guy!!!!
