Hi, everyone. I've been lurking on these boards for a while, and have been very grateful for all the info posted here. I'm in the process of applying for the September IDC board. Pretty much all my materials are in, so there's not much left to do but wait.
In the meantime, I was thinking that I could spend some time this summer doing some reading to prepare myself for commissioning, training, etc. if I am selected. As a civilian, I feel like I'll be at a disadvantage compared to the DCO folks who have prior military service. I'm hoping that by doing some reading on my own, I can try to minimize the number of times that I'll make simple mistakes and look like a dumb civilian.
So, any suggestions for things I can read? I'm also interested in learning more about Navy history, so any suggestions along those lines would be useful as well. Thanks in advance.
