Naval service is an apprenticed profession. Experienced sailors mentor their younger shipmates, passing down their hard-earned knowledge and skills and working side-by-side with the next generation. This new addition to the Wheel Book series includes some of the best writing on mentoring in the sea services from the past one hundred years. It offers guidance to sailors who are looking to find a mentor, provides advice to junior officers trying to figure out how to mentor their sailors while simultaneously developing their own capabilities, and proffers suggestions and examples for senior leaders seeking to encourage mentoring in their commands. -- Back cover.
