Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. For officers with 15-25 years of service, leaving the military isn't a job search problem, it's an identity crisis. When the rank comes off, the chain of command disappears, and the institutional structure that defined you for two decades is gone, most transition guides leave you with checklists. This one gives you a strategy. The Campaign of Your Life applies the campaign planning methodology you already know to the five pillars of civilian transition: military requirements, financial reality, employment strategy, corporate culture, and personal reinvention. The result is a Personal Transition Campaign Plan built for the officer mindset - honest, structured, and designed to get you from institutional certainty to civilian success. The mission isn't over. It's just changing. The Campaign of Your Life is a military officer's strategic guide to transition. Using a campaign plan with 5 Lines of Effort, it tackles identity loss, finances, career strategy, networking & corporate realities, far beyond checklists. This item is printed on demand.

2 blue sheets. 8x10 inches and 8 x 6 1/2 inches. Johns Island, like its neighbors Folly Island and Edisto Island, was reinforced by several South Carolina cavalry units throughout the Civil War. Among the commanders stationed there were Captain John Legare Walpole, Captain Moses Benbow Humphrey, and Captain John Jenkins, who was promoted to Major in October of 1862, when he took command over all of Johns Island's regular forces (Johns Island Conservancy: The Battle of Haulover Cut). The first of these documents is a July 19th 1863 report signed by Acting Adjutant, Paul J. Gervais, at Camp Fripp, by order of Captain Walpole, and submitted to Major John Jenkins. The report details the comings and goings of Union vessels along the surrounding rivers. "The report from the North Edisto is that there are Four Steamers and Two Schooners in the river. The report from Stono is that at 8 o'clock a black three masted transport came in loaded with troops and had them still on board at sunset." Gervais proceeds to give a detailed chronicle of ships arriving throughout the evening, including the transport Delaware, the McDonough, and a series of other unnamed schooners and gunboats. In his post script, Gervais notes that there is at least one Regiment at Folly Island. The Union may have been sending these vessels to support the effort of their South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, as nearby Charleston Harbor was one of the only remaining ports that remained open at this time. It was during the summer of 1863, when the Union staged a successful seige of the port, in the Second Battle of Charleston Harbor. The second document is an unsigned copy of a report, presumably from John Jenkins, from Johns Island, December 1863, which lists the companies under Jenkins' command. Jenkins reports "five companies, effective total 272 Mounted Riflemen." Very good, extremities worn, torn along folds, few repairs, light soiling and ink bleed through.

First edition in English, expanded from Essai sur la chasse au fusil (1781) by Magné de Marolles. Its wide-ranging scope includes detailed discussions on various types of firearms used across Europe, insights into recoil mechanics, gunpowder-to-shot ratios, and recommendations for stance while taking aim. The Essay was written in response to what the translator claimed was "the total want of a treatise in the English language" on shooting (p. v). Though this claim was somewhat exaggerated, the book provides a comprehensive guide to the subject in the context of game hunting, and original additions from the translator adapt de Marolles's text for an English context. He describes the key species of English game, often with humorous asides. For example, he notes that the Leges Wallicae (Law of Wales) imposed no penalty for killing a hare, based on the belief that the animal changed sex every other month (p. 253). The translator covers auxiliary skills for game shooting in the Essay, such as the training of pointers. Among his more unusual tips is an "infallible recipe" for "the use and convenience of those who love the sport of shooting water-fowl. to exclude water and dampness from penetrating their boots" (p. 208). Schwerdt I, p. 2. Schwerdt attributes the translation to John Acton, though William Cleator has also been suggested. Octavo (174 x 108 mm), pp. [2], xiii, [1], 303, [1]. Contemporary sprinkled calf, spine flat with red morocco label, gilt fillets, and gilt lettering, board edges gilt rolled. Some mottling to covers, spot of worming to rear cover, contents lightly foxed: a very good copy.
