New Navy Reading List

Navy Reading - Accelerate your mind

The CNO has put out an update to the Navy reading list. It's located here:

It's mentioned in this NAVADMIN:

Of note, the books designated as "essential reading" are sent hardcopy to all commands, but they can also be downloaded free from NKO. If you happen to have an e-Reader, you should be able to put the files onto it after downloading them to your computer at home.

I'm still working on my reading list...it's a little light right now due to having too much to do. From looking at the essential list, it's nice to see a mix of new and old history...not everything is a World War 2 book, something that I've been critical of in past Navy reading lists.
