One of the best "fiction" books about military life that I have read is called The Short-Timers. It was written by Gustav Hasford, and runs about 140 pages.
It also happens to be the book on which the movie "Full Metal Jacket" was based.
In the book, Gunnery Sergeant Hartman does not die in training; he leads the men into Viet Nam.
