Soldier Boys

so far in the book after the last post, Dieter's older brother Robert wants to join the navy to fight back at the japs and protect his country. he finally gets his dad to sign the slip saying it is ok for him to join. about two years later when Dieter is a 10th grader he chooses he wants to quit school and join the navy with his brother. his dad of course says no and he needs to stay in school and get good grades but then Dieter said he had already turned in his books and quit. so his only options were to join the navy or so nothing with his life since he dropped out of school, so his dad tells him he will sign the slip for him to join the navy with his brother who has been in it for about two years now.

Soldier Boys

I am reading the book "Soldier Boys" by Dean Hughes. So far the book is about a boy named Dieter who is ten years old. Him and his friends have friends who are anywere in the age of 12-14. him and his friends go down to the pond to take a swim. they do not have swimming suits so they have to go swimming naked. they are scared to go in the water cause they think that the older boys will try to drown them.
