Frank Girard’s Hilarious True Story: How a Failing Student Almost Became a U.S. Marine (But Definitely Didn’t)
Join Frank Girard as he hilariously recounts the time he nearly joined the United States Marine Corps—all because his college grades were circling the academic drain. In this wildly whimsical, over-the-top funny true story, Frank shares how his entrepreneurial spirit got him into hot water with the Dean, how his influential father “fixed” things by sending him to a Marine recruiter, and how the words “boot camp” sent him sprinting straight to the library. This laugh-out-loud tale is packed with heart, humor, and the real reason Frank became a better student—terror of basic training.
