5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding work!, September 20, 1999
By Sean Kinn "Gunny" (traveling, hopefully) - See all my reviews
This review is from: NCO GUIDE, 6th Edition (Paperback)
From the Tally Shooter Writers' Group:

The sixth edition of this perennial best-seller has finally hit the streets! (OK,it finally hit the "river" since it's only available at Amazon.com right now.)

Very much up-to-date, the revisions to the 1999 edition of the NCO's bible provide Army noncoms with a made-to-order reference for just about any situation they may come across in today's modern army. The author, CSM (Retired) Robert S. Rush, has taken this guide to new heights. There are revised sections in the guide on caring leadership, training, NCO career development and promotions, awards and decorations, and "customs and courtesies." Army policy concerning the new fraternization rules-of-engagement is included and the latest military Web site info pertinent to NCOs is included as appendix.

The benefits of owning this book are enormous. Tuck it in your BDU trouser pocket before you deploy and you will have a modern day reference containing individual treatises on one of the broadest compilations of NCO subject matter ever made available in print.

A must-have guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the source for learning the principles of being an NCO, September 6, 2008
By A. Scalzitti (South East USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book has always been required reading and for good reason, it really describes what it means to be in command. Being a good leader isn't just about barking our D&C. Its about preparing your troops each and every day, leading by example, and trying to keep everyone safe. Great reading and a good book.
