"The success of the U.S. Navy in its more than two centuries of existence is due not only to the essential contributions of Sailors on active duty and in the Reserve, but also to the civilians who have worked as part of the Navy since its earliest days. But active and Reserve Sailors are sent to boot camp or officer candidate school to prepare them for their unique occupation. And while the Navy has long provided The Bluejackets Manual to incoming Sailors to serve as an introduction and as a continuing reference guide so that they will feel more comfortable in a new and otherwise alien world, civilians working for the Navy have never been issued a similar guide to help them navigate a world where floors are decks, where 1337 is a time in the here-and-now instead of a date from ancient history, and where uniforms are anything but!" "While it is impractical to send all civilian workers to a centralized indoctrination course, it is possible to provide a common reference, specially designed to acquaint civilians with this very special world they have entered. NavCivGuide is that common reference guide designed specifically for those who, like the Sailors in the Fleet, serve the nation and the Navy, but who also need and deserve help in understanding where they are and what it is all about." "This guide provides new employees and veteran workers alike with the words and steps needed to succeed in the Navy. Just as The Bluejacket's Manual serves as a guide for Sailors, this book provides both new civilian and veteran employees with a ready reference to the culture and organization of the U.S. Navy. This key guide will provide all civilians with an understanding of the Navy's world of acronyms, n-codes, uniforms, and customs. Among its special features are sections on using military salutations properly, reading naval uniforms, understanding the workings of the Department of Defense, and an introduction to ships and airplanes. It is the only comprehensive guide to the military world of the U.S. Navy available for the civilian."--BOOK JACKET.

After completing military service, veterans can have a difficult time finding employment when returning to civilian life. Out of Uniform, Second Edition is designed to help all transitioning military personnel, regardless of service, branch, rank, rating, time in service, time in grade, or specialty. Although all service members share common denominators, each individual brings something unique to the job market. Not only does this book cover the basics--search techniques, networking, interview preparation, résumés, negotiation, and a new chapter on social media--it also offers guidance on topics that are often overlooked, specifically the central issues of self-knowledge, interviewing empathy, and the power of questions. In addition to the technical guidance, readers will also discover important information in the anecdotes based on the experiences of soldiers, sailors, air force personnel, and marines.

Today, there are more military family members than there are total uniformed service members. Sixty percent of the military are married, including more than eighty percent of all career-status personnel, and many have small children. They come from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, and they represent a wide variety of family types, including single parents, dual career military couples, and families with eldercare responsibilities. In an effort to cut costs, many of the services utilized by military families are being privatized or outsourced to civilian service providers. This guide is designed to benefit anyone who provides services to these families, particularly those who may have little or no prior knowledge of the unique nature of military families and military family life. This book contains research-based information about the unique needs of military families across various duty-related conditions, as well as within the context of military career demands. Its multi-service focus addresses the provision of human services in both peace and wartime. Topics include military spouse employment, retirement issues, family support during deployments, the New Parent Support Program, and the experiences of adult children of military parents. The authors encourage an understanding of military community-based programs and services, and they offer the reader numerous resources for collaboration with the military community.
