Requirements: .M4A/.M4B reader, 670 MB
Overview: Completed after eight years of writing and research, Nicole Waybright’s memoir tells the true story of her coming-of-age struggles while deployed as an officer on a US Navy destroyer. With heartbreaking and fearless realism, the author chronicles the despair and psychological crisis that she experienced while yet in the early days of a five-year military obligation.
Long Way Out, a narrative nonfiction work, is presented in graphic and historically accurate detail based on the author’s five years of (honorably discharged) service as a commissioned officer in the Surface Warfare (SWO) Navy, during the era of the first wave of women to be stationed aboard combatant ships. Alongside an account of the author’s turbulent psychological journey, Long Way Out reveals the tragic story of the notorious executive officer – the first woman in US history to command an Aegis destroyer and be stripped of command for “cruelty and maltreatment” of her crew – under whom the author served. TIME magazine later called this commander “the Female Captain Bligh.”
An unlikely turn of events finds the author with a radicalized self-understanding, committed to seeking self-awareness and courageously exploring ways to make her tour successful in the face of tremendous obstacles. Based in Jungian psychology. Includes details of topical issues within US Navy Surface Warfare (SWO) culture.
