Author Darryl Jefferson's New Audiobook, "The Army Life" is a Poignant Memoir Exploring the Harsh Realities Faced by Those Who Enlist in the US Military
Recent audiobook release “The Army Life” from Audiobook Network author Darryl Jefferson is a thought-provoking reflection of the author’s experiences in serving over a decade in the US Army, exploring the stark differences between his childhood dreams of what his service would be like versus the actual realities he and many others endured.
New York, NY, April 11, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Darryl Jefferson, who holds a Master of Science in psychology from Arizona State University and is a member of the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars), has completed his new audiobook, “The Army Life”: a powerful memoir that follows the author as he discovers his dream of joining the United States Army is a far different experience than he had imagined.
Author Darryl Jefferson grew up with the sole ambition of becoming a US Army soldier. Despite many people advising against it, he ultimately fulfilled his goal and enlisted in the Army while the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were raging. He soon discovered that this experience was much different than he had anticipated, but in the process, he would learn and discover much about himself, the real world, and the human condition.
“A story,” shares Jefferson. “A kid joins the Army. He realizes that the Army is not what he thought it was. But no matter what he does afterward, he always remembers his experience in the Army. This was how it played out for me with my experience going through ROTC at Pacific Lutheran University then later enlisting in the United States Army during the post-9/11 era. I did ROTC at PLU because I originally wanted to be an officer, but in the end, it all got fucked up. And if there’s one takeaway from that whole experience, it could be that nothing is ever what it seems.”
Published by Audiobook Network, author Darryl Jefferson’s new audiobook is an emotionally candid and deeply personal tale that is sure to resonate with veterans who have endured similar trials, as well as those considering a life of service in the military.

Audiobooks are the fastest growing segment in the digital publishing industry. According to The Infinite Dial 2019, 50% of Americans age 12 and older have listened to an audiobook. This huge growth can be partly attributed to increased listening in cars, which surpassed the home as the #1 audiobook listening location in the 2019 survey. Smart speaker proliferation also bodes well for future listening growth and more mainstream listening.
