Overview
It Worked Fifteen Minutes Ago
Sea stories told from just above Davy Jones' locker.
What do you get when you cross a retired Navy corpsman, a crew of lovable degenerates, and the floating bureaucracy known as Military Sealift Command?
You get this: a hilarious, unflinching, and occasionally profane fictionalized memoir of life at sea.
B.A. Ritzenthaler takes you aboard the USNS Hudson-a ship held together by rust, grit, and just enough common sense to stay afloat. From supply snafus to medical chaos, liberty port misadventures to leadership lessons hard-won, these stories capture the absurdity and humanity of serving as a civilian in a military organization.
Told with sharp humor, brutal honesty, and a sailor's sense of timing, It Worked Fifteen Minutes Ago is for anyone who's ever served, ever wondered what it's really like, or ever been one smart-ass away from snapping.
