About this book
In the tradition of The Bluejackets Manual this new guide serves as "mentor" to the U.S. Navys Chief Petty Officers and "gouge" to those who aspire to be CPOs. It is the result of an extensive review process by a select board of CPOs including those assigned to the Senior Enlisted Academy in Newport Rhode Island. The book provides extensive guidance in the four major skills areas deemed essential for todays successful CPO: leading communicating developing and supporting. Among the sixteen useful chapters are "The Moral Compass " "Written Communications " and "Advancement and Professional Development " and there is specific guidance in topics unique to being a chief including the conduct of CPO initiations living in the Chiefs Mess and wearing khakis. Both textbook and reference work the guide is mandatory reading for all E-6s and above.
