About this product
Product Information
Welcome to the world of the United States Navy. As a former sailor, I became a part of an organization that created it's own unique language, jargon, and has a million different ridiculous acronyms. A wall is no longer a wall, there isn't any more bathrooms, floors or beds. I became a "pollywog", a "FNG", and a "boxkicker". The only way I learned this world was being in it. Now, I would share my knowledge and help those entering the Navy avoid any confusion and culture shock, oh and perhaps a prank or five. For those of you who are as salty as I am, I want to take you on a trip down memory lane. The Navy is not for the faint of heart. It is crude, rude, profane and definitely politically INCORRECT. This book is filled with all the terminology, jargon, slang and acronyms you can stand to help you survive the adjustment+++Plus a whole lot of helpful advice on situations, leadership, living conditions and expectations, and much more. All you Navy people out there will laugh at, understand and read how everything can get "Charlie Foxtrot " This is also a perfect "Welcome Aboard" and/or SOP to add to anyone's shop to give to the "booters" and/or anyone else who needs a reference (and/or perhaps a Foxtrot Uniform). As a FREE BONUS, is how to get a 10-page informational book with interesting facts and things you will see in the Navy, like who are the Skittles? If you are looking for the perfect gift for someone going to Navy boot camp, graduating from Navy boot camp, is already in the Navy, is a veteran of the Navy, or anyone just curious about the Navy, this is the gift you've been looking for. Almost 240 pages of information in an A-Z format for quick, easy reference. It will satisfy any occasion: Graduation, Birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day, Veteran's Day, and Xmas for any sailor past, present and future.

The book came in damaged. The seller graciously offered a partial refund as the packaging was inadequate for our postal service here. The refund never came and the seller sent a string of refund-promising emails but never did refund money. Also, the seller did not answer current questions and sent in repeat answers to old emails.
