I found this book while doing some Amazon searches for Navy material. I came across this book and for a few weeks didn't order it, then once I did WOW!!I wish I wouldn't have waited. I have been in the Navy for 14 years now and love being a Sailor although lately have wished I could be doing more during this challenging time. This book gives the best defination of The Navy's core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment it helped me to realize that even during war-time,even the little things done are important and needed, and that standing up for what you belive in even when you are the minority represent honor, courage, and commitment. This book was not only informative but it was done in an entertaining way. I have even bought 2 more to give to my Chief and Master Chief who I know will be able to appreciate this great book!!

It was a fun to read history book that doesn't plod its way through history chronologically. Culter did a great job teaching history while telling stories. These stories from give a basis of traditions and relay core values. He uses Navy jargon in way that teaches the reader how to relate to the unique language spoken by sailors.

A great primer on US Navy history that is a very easy read and doesn't get bogged down in details. Core values are relayed in a way that make you proud to be associated with the US Navy.
