During his four years of active duty, he was assigned to both the 1st Battalion 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment and the 3rd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, plus two years of reserve duty with the Florida National Guard. Among his awards are the Combat Infantryman Badge, Parachutist Badge, Army Commendation Medal, Good Conduct Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal (Grenada), Cold War Victory Medal and the National Defense Service Medal. After discharge, he enrolled in college and studied marine biology, picking up an associate's degree. However, he quickly discovered that marine biology does "pay for beans" [2] and became a database manager to support his wife and two daughters. His life had settled into a fairly sedate pattern when, in 1999, he had the idea for a science fiction story that involved an alien invasion and a military response that became the novel A Hymn Before Battle, the title an homage to the poem "Hymn Before Action" [3] by Rudyard Kipling. He submitted the novel to publisher Jim Baen of Baen Books, who quickly bought it.

With numerous New York Times bestsellers to his name, John Ringo's works range from outright science fiction stories to military novels tinged with political elements. +Biography A considerable portion of Ringo's young life was spent in transit, John Ringo and his family having spent time in an impressive 23 foreign nations by the time he graduated from Winter Park High School (in Winter Park) in 1981. By the time he graduated, Ringo had attended over a dozen schools. Having spent most of his young life in places like Greece and Switzerland, the author eventually settled in Alabama with his parents and six siblings. It is because of the considerable amount of time he spent traveling that John Ringo came to appreciate humanity as a whole, this along with his distaste for foreign foods. John joined the U. S Army soon after graduation, eventually rising to the rank of Specialist in the 82nd Airborne Division. He also spent two years of reserve duty with the Florida National Guard. John received numerous awards during his time in the army, these including the Parachutist Badge, National Defense Service Medal and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal to mention but a few.
Ok, guys that were awful: Christopher Anvil (Pandora's Legions) - the plot/backstory barely hung together, and the characters were made of cardboard Roland Green/John Carr (Great King's War) - the only one so far that has been actually unreadable. Everything else I've enjoyed, even if it's bad, but I just gave up on reading this one. John Dalmas (Lion of Farside) - this was the one with the rape and constant reference to humping. I swear to god, I wanted to throttle him. That's a good 10-second list, scanning through the titles of the stuff I've read. Weber/Drake/Bujold aren't new to me, and they're definitely enjoyable fluff. But again, this observation has come entirely from the BFL, I haven't paid enough attention to publishers before now to notice anything like this. I read 1632/33 from Flint, and he's certainly not awful - I guess he's the reason they don't really need Turtledove, since they seem pretty similar. Although Flint doesn't have the same need for every book to have a scene where lady x straddles guy y.

Can they protect themselves from their enemies and survive the machinations of their allies? John Ringo's very first novel is as imaginative as it is thrilling; introducing to the readers the Galactic Federation, which recruits Earth to aid in the fight against the Posleen, a race of aliens that doesn't share the pacifist ways of the other sentient races of the universe, John Ringo's primary strength is the rich world he crafts and eventually destroys. The alien cultures are unique and exotic, and the bad guys are pretty nasty. Described as reptilian centaurs created for the purpose of fighting, the novel isn't afraid to delve into the nitty gritty of the military, exploring the minutiae of tactics, training and every heart-pounding element of the various battles. However, the narrative never suffers; the story remains engaging and compelling from beginning to end. Fans of Military Science Fiction will enjoy this novel immensely, John Ringo inundating his novel with plasma rays, space ships, mech-suits and every other element essential to authentic military science fiction literature.

For those of you who have Microsoft Word installed, the RTF format is best. (Honestly, this is a debatable point, but hey, I'm writing this and that's what I think. Arnold Bailey, 's Webmaster and CD-ROM designer, disagrees, but he thinks everything is so self-evident we don't even need this orientation. ) All others who do not want to use Palm Pilots or some such are advised to stick to the Internet browser format (html). The browser option is pretty bulletproof, and will allow you to read the manuscript on-screen with minimal fuss in the font color, style and size you prefer. On the other hand, if you want to play with the disk and files, the structure is standard. Take any file manager that can handle CD-ROMs, including Microsoft Windows Explorer, and you can examine the CD's contents to your heart's delight. The sound samples are all MP3, and the pictures are all JPG extensions, which will open automatically in any web browser you're using on your computer, whether PC or MAC. Remember, there is nothing mysterious about the disk; if you are having trouble, your neighborhood guru can probably help you out, but she'll be dreadfully condescending about it.
