Forget the movie, it's not in here

This has got to be my favorite book of all time. I've always had a love for the whole "sci-fi military" thing, and this one definately takes it to new heights. I almost fell over when I found out they were going to do a movie about it, but alas.. the movie took the storyline, and mashed it into a tiny little space, and threw a world war 2 feel on it, essentially ironing out at least 80% of what, for me, the feel of the book was.
The main character takes the hard road to become a true soldier in every sense of the word. Forget what you saw on the screen, and preconcieved notions of how shallow the story will be and, give it a chance. If you like sci-fi there's no way this will disappoint.
Of course, by now you've noticed it was written by Heinlein.. If he's ever written a bad story, I haven't run into it yet, and that's saying quite a bit!
