Spare Parts: From Campus to Combat: A Marine Reservist's Journey from Campus to Combat in 38 Days
Buzz Williams - 2004
Buzz had thought that he would only need to sacrifice one weekend a month and two weeks a year for training to earn the money that would help pay for his college tuition. He had no idea that even the newest reservists could find themselves on the battlefield in a matter of weeks. "Spare Parts recounts Williams's harrowing deployment to the Persian Gulf after only four weeks of combat training. Enduring both the condescension of full-time Marines and the danger of his limited preparation, he manages to form a core group that struggles to gain respect from a military machine that views them as mere "spare parts." In gripping, you-are-there detail, "Spare Parts articulates the grueling physical and emotional trials that Williams and his comrades must face on the killing fields of Kuwait--where some of the woefully underprepared men are able to rise to the challenge and others are broken by the horrors of battle. A compelling portrait of the more than 1.2 million reservists who stand ready to leave civilian life to defend our nation at a moment's notice, "Spare Parts adds a moving new perspective to the literature of war.

And, although there have been many algorithm adjustments over the years, four major ones have shaped and forever changed the search engine landscape: Google Panda Google Penguin Google Hummingbird Google Mobilegeddon We'll discuss the nature of these changes and just how each of these algorithm adjustments have shaped the current landscape in search engine optimization. So what does it take to rank your site today? In order to compete at any level in SEO, you have to earn trust - Google's trust that is. But, what does that take? How can we build trust quickly without jumping through all the hoops? SEO is by no means a small feat. It takes hard work applied consistently overtime.
