This title uses virtual voice narration

Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.
In 1965, Hank Tucker and his Brother Toby were out of draft deferments when they discovered an AFL/CIO poster in the union hiring hall advertising a Navy enlistment program offering advanced enlisted paygrades to construction men with extensive experience in the trades and heavy equipment. Just sign up for a thirty month enlistment and they could enter the Navy Seabees as instant petty officers. At that point, joining one of the services was the only way they could avoid getting drafted and joining the Navy sounded like the best deal in town. No guns. No foxholes. No battles. It didn't quite work out that way. War & Military Historical Fiction Genre Fiction

Way too many chapters and the AI speaking had some words pronounced wrong but still great

Great Seabee story

Once you get past the AI voice, the story is really good. I’m glad this book was written and that I listened to it.

Great Story.

I found the computer voice forgettable enough that it doesn’t bother you. And the story while episodic and feeling a bit abridged was over all enjoyable.

Good and a enjoyable listen

I really don’t care for the AI generated voice. I would recommend more an actual human at least listening to the story and editing the mistakes the AI makes and correcting them before you put it on Audible.

Bad AI voice over.
