Book Description

1591141532 978-1591141532 May 4, 2009 24
From the days of oars and coal-fired engines to the computerized era of the twenty-first century, The Bluejacket's Manual has been an essential part of the American
Sailor's sea bag for more than one hundred years, serving as an introduction to the Navy for new recruits and as a reference book for Sailors of all ranks. Written by a Sailor whose decades of naval service included sea duty in patrol craft, destroyers, and aircraft carriers, as both an officer and a white hat, this newest edition has been overhauled to reflect the current state of the ever-evolving U.S. Navy, adding such things as camouflage uniforms, new ratings, and the Navy Professional Reading Program. Primarily intended to serve Bluejackets, the 24th Edition of this standard guide to the u.S. Navy will also be welcomed by potential recruits, Navy buffs, and a growing number of Bluejacket's Manual collectors.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE source of information about the Navy, May 19, 2000
By 
Alan T. Peto (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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...

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source of information, October 15, 2002
By 
"sabrgrrl" (Newport, RI, USA) - See all my reviews
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic!, July 3, 2007
The Bluejacket's Manual has been a staple book of US Navy seamanship for the last century. I'm pre-Recruit Training, but knowing your trade before you're supposed to has never hurt anybody.

The hardback version is perfect for the mantle of any sailor past or present...
