Feb 06, Vicky Mount rated it it was amazing. Wow Freaking guy is a little nuts. As an active duty 11B going on 15 years and 3 deployments, I envy this heros relationship with the Vietnamese. I did form tight bonds with my terps and some local kids but not on this level.
Outstanding read by one of America's finest fighting men.

Dec 04, Lee Wallace rated it it was amazing. A gripping, very humble and absolutely necessary-to-read account of being a special forces soldier during the Vietnam war.
Gone Native: An NCO's Story by Alan Cornett | LibraryThing
The author was rejected by the fifth special forces for being too young and with no experience in the field, recieved more training and became a long reconassaince medic. A must read for anyone seriously interested in the story of a guy who fought for five extremely long years. Apr 26, Doug DePew rated it it was amazing. Cornett's credentials are beyond reproach. He's been there and done just about everything the Army has to offer. This is a well written and very personal story of his journey through more than six years of combat in the jungles of southeast Asia.
It is an amazing story. The author shares a lot of personal information that often would make a retired senior NCO uncomfortable, but he delivers it with the same candor as he does the combat stories.
Gone native : an NCO's story
He saw parts of the war that few other men saw and l Cornett's credentials are beyond reproach. He saw parts of the war that few other men saw and lived to tell his story. He also made nearly every mistake it was possible to make. As a former Infantryman myself, I am in awe of men like Cornett. His story simply must be heard. He does it in an extremely straight-forward, direct way in this book that brings across the brutality of war and the bond of combat. His honesty and candor are laudable. Alan Cornett was sometimes in conflict with his superiors over a rebellious streak, but he delivered when it counted.
He managed to survive a rocky start to his career and to survive nearly seven years in combat. Being willing to admit it is even more remarkable. This is an amazing account of an amazing life. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys military memoirs or Vietnam history. Actually, I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good story.
I think it would be useful for any young person to read It's a great book! Feb 10, Jerry rated it it was amazing Shelves: Probably dropped him off and picked him up on several of his missions. Overall, a good account of what it was like to conduct long range patrols, and serve in an adviser capacity during the war. May 02, Connie rated it really liked it. So many things that most people probably never knew or realized about Vietnam and how things went over there, both for the Americans and the native people.

Well worth the read! Highly recommend this to any avid reader. Aug 04, Andrew Ziegler rated it really liked it. Should have been ghost written by someone other than the author. Alan's story is amazing, heartbreaking and breathtaking at times, however someone with more writing skill should have been given the pen here.
Jan 11, Mia rated it liked it. An interesting look at what it was like for American soldiers on the front line of the Vietnam War. Jan 04, Rodney Inciong added it. A fairly well written first person bio.
