Need to know info for all Officer want to be's November 24, 2007

A very dry read, but like I said it is NEED TO KNOW INFO if you are going to try to be a Officer in the US Navy.

As an aspiring Naval Officer I found this book to be just what I needed to help me find out more about protocol.

This book might be helpful to a Naval Officer. But for myself, a soon to be naval spouse, I found it very overwhelming. Attempting to use this book as a reference guide to learning about the Navy was a bad decision. I would compare it to trying to read a book in another language. Too much detailed information and very hard to navigate through.
Excellent Reference Material July 18, 2002

The book is well-written, easy to follow, and up-to-date. True to its name, this book is a great guide for any current or future officer in the US Navy and does not stray from its intended purpose, which includes providing guidance on customs and courtesies, pay and allowances, duties and responsibilities, and other key subjects relevant to Naval officers. I would give the book five stars if it was a bit thicker and more inclusive (like officer guides from other branches), but this guide is an excellent source of information on important subjects and provides references to other sources of information.
For current and future officers, it doesn't get much better. July 12, 2002

I am not currently a member of the United States Navy, but I do aspire to be one of these days. I want to go to Officer Candidate School, earn my commission, and hopefully embark upon a prosperous Naval career. Of course, I know very little of what is involved in being a Naval officer beyond what I am able to glean from conversations with friends and colleagues who are current or past Naval officers. That is why "The Naval Officer's Guide" is so valuable. It gives a breakdown of all aspects of the life of a Naval officer. It deals with areas like training, promotions, Naval customs, and common job responsibilities, to name a few. That is just the tip of the iceberg, though. There is so much more in this guide that it becomes an indispensable manual for those who wish to learn about what it means to be an officer, as well as being a valuable reference piece for those who are already serving. As I read through this guide, I found myself developing a greater understanding of the Navy and finding myself able to visualize serving as an officer. There can be no greater endorsement of literature like this.
