Stockton, CA, October 29, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Walter Reed, a veteran of the Marine Corps who worked in IT for thirty-four years as a computer operator, network administrator, desktop support tech, and technical phone support tech, has completed his new book, “Indonesia: A Journal of One Marine's Odyssey”: a compelling memoir that recounts the author’s experiences as a Marine Security Guard at the U.S. embassy in Jakarta.

“I have had the desire to write this book for forty years before finally taking the plunge,” writes Reed. “The book encompasses the entire time I spent working at the American embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, as a Marine Security Guard. It follows all the adventures and misadventures of myself and the entire detachment I was assigned to and the eight Marines I worked with there. I also followed the political landscape in Indonesia at the time as well as embassy life and politics and life within my detachment. But most of the book details my desire to learn about and experience everything Indonesian and how I mostly accomplished that with the help of my Indonesian girlfriend, Neneng.”
