Ed is an amazingly talented writer with an easy going, easy to read style that will make you feel as though you have known Ed for your entire life.  His easy going writing style makes Earning the C.I.B. even that much more compelling to read.

   If you have ever wondered what happens physically and mentally to a soldier in war, Earning the C.I.B. is a chilling true story that will give you a bird's eye view of what life is really like in war.  If you are a student of the human mind and wonder why people do what they do or wonder how people get through horrific events in their lives, Earning the C.I.B. will give you new insights into the human mind and spirit and the amazing coping mechanisms inherent in all of us.

   Earning the C.I.B. is a study in human survival, mentally, physically and spiritually.  It is a true story about devotion and commitment.  It is a true story about war and the hard choices that soldiers are faced with each day and it is a story of triumph over adversity and terror.  It is a celebration of all the soldiers who didn't make it home and for all those who did.

   After thirty-three years in the Postal Service Ed Swauger will retire in 2006 and plans to travel the U.S. visiting family and old friends.  His short stories about growing up with his horses and dogs are in the Horse Tales For The Soul and Dog Tales For The Soul books available here at TheCompletePet.com.  His true story of his one year tour of duty as an infantryman in Vietnam, Earning the C.I.B., is also available here.
