Ken Smith was a backwoods boy of 18 when the U.S. government asked him to serve. Despite his flat feet, he signed up with the U.S. Coast Guard and began a three-year adventure that took him from the frigid North Atlantic to an atoll in the South Pacific called Ulithi. Coast Guard Follies is Smith's fond and funny recollection of his time in the service, when the only dangers came from the "push-push" girls, the bad decisions of Lieutenant "Lard-Ass" and an ungrounded gooseneck lamp. This is a hilarious story that will appeal to old "Coasties" and landlubbers alike.Smith, Ken is the author of 'Coast Guard Follies: My Humor in Uniform', published 2007 under ISBN 9780975467688 and ISBN 0975467689.
