Abstract:
"This book is both a translation manual and a cultural guide for parents of new sailors. Alongside chapters covering uniforms, ranks, ships, and aircraft are explanations and guidance as to what to expect when their child joins the Navy, the many benefits their sailor will enjoy, and what families should bring and do when visiting their sailors. Designed to be an easy read as well as a useful reference work, The Parent's Guide to the U.S. Navy is essential reading for those parents whose children have chosen to "go down to the sea in ships.""--Provided by publisher.
