4.0 out of 5 stars Valuable Information, May 29, 2001

I've recently enlisted in the Army, and was looking for some good sorces of information, besides my recruiter! I got this book on a whem...and it turn out to be very useful. There is alot of information in this book about everything, your Class A and Class B uniforms from how to salute, and vacation time. Housing pay, and if you have family..can they go with you. It talks about overseas and hazard pay also. About being promoted and how to excell. There really is alot of information, with enuff depth to help you understand, and it tells you books to look at for more in-depth information. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to know all they can, and it would be a good book to look at before you sign your papers...or after...for some good questions to ask your recruiter or any Sergeant.

If you are already in the Army you really dont need this book. Everything covered in it you should know from Basic Training. It would be good to get if you are thinking about joining though, it covers the basics really well. If you are already enlisted I would suggest getting the NCO guide and start looking to better yourself and get promoted.
