You'd need serious credentials for that sort of stuff.

Cadet Airman Adam...do you know what you have to do to make a serious book let alone get it published.

Not that I'm underestimating you...but this just seems like a big project for a person your age.
I'm assuming you're around 20. And do you have any previous writing experience?

You need the credentials man. Basically you would have had to serve in an armored unit, and also have studied on it extensively. You may even need a PhD on something related to what you're publishing.

No one's going to consider the work of a 16 year old unless you're an engineering genius attached to General Dynamics and involved in making the latest M-1A2s.

Well, credentials is no problem, the writing is a negative.

But I have studied very deeply and extensivly.

And am A FIST qualified.
