Description
Fully revised, this third edition of Newly Commissioned Naval Officer's Guide continues to be an essential resource for all of those at the pivotal transition from midshipmen and officer candidates to newly commissioned naval officers from all service communities. Chapters address the principles of basic leadership, naval policy, service etiquette, and personal and professional administration. Including new insights from those who have recently made this transition, this book serves as a gateway to the many digital and print assets available to newly commissioned officers. It underscores continued preparation, repetition, action, leadership, accountability, and focus on the job at hand as lifelong career fundamentals. A brief history of the U.S. Navy is also included, as well as sample communications and helpful hints, making this volume an important source of advice and information for young leaders who, by their service, make a difference in the U.S. Navy, the nation, and the world.
