From Somalia to North Korea and on to the former Soviet Union, What It Means to Serve: From Airborne Ranger to Peace Corps Volunteer is the intriguing and witty account of Robert Donayres six years of service for the U.S. Federal Government in two undoubtedly conflicting organizations the U.S. Army and Peace Corps. At the age of seventeen, Donayre enlists to become an airborne ranger, young and unsure of the uncertainties that surround his future. As he becomes immersed in military life, he finds himself traveling, drinking, and meeting women during short, army-allotted excursions. When his four-year contract comes to an end, Donayre spends seven years earning his masters degree and then decides to do the unthinkable: join the famously liberal Peace Corps. Assigned to Moldova, a small country in the former Soviet Union, he becomes engrossed in a politically conflicted culture thats notoriously intertwined with corruption and poverty. Donayres two-year stint as a teacher of English as a foreign language at the university level allows him to view, first hand, the effects of a broken nation on an emerging generation of workers. What It Means to Serve: From Airborne Ranger to Peace Corps Volunteer is a memoir that takes its readers through a range of politically charged emotions as Donayre openly engages in the dualities of war and peace.

It's a job but totally worth it
Size: 36 sqft
Pack a lunch when you tackle this project boys.. its a doozy!! Month in going great so far definetly did what I purchased it to do. 2000 chevy with two p3 10s every bass drop sounded like an old firebird with loose trunk bolts. Threw this on the back walls floor underneath the speaker and the doors.. all that energy is now in the cab with me instead of getting lost in rattling metal!! Love it!!! Left a few pieces outside after I was done rained like hell on them so water doesnt hurt this stuff at all or direct sunlight in south mississippi.. good stuff pick this up and make them systems thud instead of rattle!!! You wont regret it!! I didn't!!

Reasonably priced sound deadening
Size: 18 sqft
Easy to cut with a carpet knife. I used a heatgun to make it stickier and more moldable. The foil isn't so thick that you risk cutting yourself like some Dynamat variants.
