Average Customer Rating: 4.25 (4 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: a necessary evil
Comment: If you are in the DEP (Delayed Entry Program) you should pick up a copy. Alot of the information will seem irrelevant, but study it anyways. The information in this book is pertinant to your entire Naval Career, whether you are in for 4 or plan on retiring. The information has alot of outdated stuff, such as rules and regulations, and it also has alot of information that is irrelevant post 9-11. Overall, it is an indisposible volume, whether you love it or hate it. I personally don't like it, but I study it in order to pass my advancement exams.
Rating: 4
Summary: Excellent source of information
Comment: My fiance is in the Navy and he bought me a copy of this when I went to see him pass-in-review. He told me that it would answer a lot of my questions I might have had- well it has! I learned about differnt ships, all of the information on Tricare (the Navy's insurance), dependents...you name it, it's in there! If you've got a loved one in the Navy (child, spouse, fiance/e, girlfriend/boyfriend, sibling, etc.) I suggest this book!

Summary: THE source of information about the Navy
Comment: Although everyone is issued this manual in boot-camp (RTC) it is still essential reading for several people.
If you are in the Delayed entry program (DEP) or thinking about joining the Navy, this book will give you valuable insight and get you well prepared for your career. Start reading the material right away so you can be prepared for boot camp (making it easier...yes it can be done!) You will get one of these in boot camp, so give this to your family or spouse so they can look up questions they may have. It helps when your family knows what the heck you are talking about when you say such Naval jargon as 'head', 'starboard', 'plankowner', 'scuttlebutt', etc.
Secondly, anyone who has an interest in the Navy and how the enlisted do it will sureley find this valuable. It covers everything from the enlisted ratings (the specific jobs), officer ranks, re-enlistment procedures, commissioning procedures, firefighting, damage control, nautical flags, ship information, etc, etc, etc. It's one of the books that has everything packed into it!
I still have my original book from RTC after nearly 8 years and still look at it now and again.
Fair winds and following seas...
