Newly Commissioned Naval Officer's Guide (Blue and Gold Professional Series) Hardcover – October 1, 2009

I am a firm believer in the power of preparation in determining later success and this is a great overview of the role and responsibilities for anyone considering joining the officer ranks of USN. Relatively quick read with lots of concrete suggestions and a nice further reading list - highly recommend!

Bought this for my son's Naval Officer Commissioning. The book idea is great but the binding wasn't sturdy. I had everyone who attended write something on the inside pages. After 4 people the book had pulled away from the cover. I wanted it to be a lifetime keepsake but disappointed it fell apart before we even have it to him.

I found the information that I was looking for. The shipping and price for the book was relatively ok. I will refer others to it

This is a great guide for any newly commissioned Seamen you may know. Every professional Sailor should have this by their side at all times!

Great resource

Recommend buying and reading this before you ship to OCS--it's full of practical advice on Navy community, tradition, leadership, career management, etc. Good basic reference tool.

Too much fluff. It has some good info but nothing you wouldn't otherwise figure out or have a brief about.
