Summary: THE source of information about the Navy
Review: 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...

Summary: The Ten Rules for being a sentry.
Review: 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 The information has alot of outdated stuff, such as rules and regulations, and it also has alot of information that is irrelevant post 9-11.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.

Summary: Excellent source of information
Review: 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 regarding the Navy.
Review: The Bluejacket's Manual is the most complete source of information for young Bootcamps and old salts alike. The information contained in the pages are a very valuable asset to the sailor. There is naval history, history on the military in general, and where the Navy will stand in the future. I don't recomend this book to civies, unless you are a navy buff, and i don't recomend buying this book if you plan to join the Navy (They will give you one in Boot Camp). If you are a sailor who has lost his BJM, buy it. Call your Navy recruiter.
