The Chief Petty Officer's Guide

by John Hagan, J.F. Leahy

In the tradition of The Bluejacket's Manual, this new guide serves as mentor to the U.S. Navy's 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 today's 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 Chief's Mess, and wearing Khakis. Both textbook and reference work, the guide is mandatory reading for all E-6s and above.
