NOW A NETFLIX SERIES — BOOTS
The Pink Marine is the hilarious, heartfelt true story adapted into the hit Netflix series Boots.
When Greg’s straight best friend, Dale, tells him he’s spending the summer at Marine Corps boot camp, Greg hears only “summer” and “camp.” Never mind that he’s underweight, out of shape—and gay, which was illegal in the U.S. military at the time.
Against all odds, Greg enlists. What follows is a coming-of-age story set in the most unlikely place: Parris Island, Boot Camp 1979.
Through thirteen brutal weeks of training, Greg discovers that courage isn’t about muscles or bravado—it’s about belonging, self-respect, and finding your voice in a world that silences difference. Alongside misfits and oddballs who form an unexpected brotherhood, he learns that what breaks you also binds you.
Told with biting wit and disarming honesty, The Pink Marine is a story of laughter, fear, and transformation—a memoir for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t fit in, and found strength anyway.
The Pink Marine proves that even in boot camp, you can find family—and yourself.

But as the weeks go by, the desire to survive and earn the title of Marine triumphs over fear.He learns that everyone enters the Corps feeling different - judged for the color of their skin, their weight, or their past.
