Full Description:

Just as Thomas Cutler's The Bluejacket's Manual serves as the standard introduction and continuing reference guide for American sailors, this new handbook provides a basic reference guide for civilians working for the U.S. Navy. It will acquaint them with the Navy's world of acronyms, n-codes, uniforms, and customs. The author explains that a big step toward fitting in has always been learning how to "talk the talk and walk the walk," and this guide provides new employees and veteran workers alike with the words and steps needed to succeed in the Navy. Among its special features are sections on using military salutations properly, reading naval uniforms, understanding the culture of the Department of Defense, and an introduction to ships and airplanes

Thomas J. Cutler, Lt. Cmdr., USN (Ret.), is also the author of A Sailor's History of the U.S. Navy, The Battle of Leyte Gulf, and among other books, and is the recipient of the Alfred Thayer Mahan Award for Naval Literature.
