Great Information April 28, 2008
This book gives a detailed overview on what to expect once you get the butter bars pinned on you. It delves into a considerable amount of detail into topics such as army customs to obey, UCMJ laws that you should already know (but can't hurt to refresh upon) and other topics. If you are currently in OCS or are thinking about becoming an officer there is also a guide to the different branch opportunities that are available to Army officers such as aviation, infantry, intel, ect. Overall a great book that is definitely written and geared for current or aspiring officers.
Essential January 25, 2008
Every Army officer whould have a copy of this book, both as a reference and as a guide to many aspects of Army life. Its never been superceded except by new editions because it is the definitive guide.
Great Reference July 3, 2007
I'm currently serving as a Captain in the Air Force with Space Command. There's a possibility I might transfer to the Army through Blue to Green. Since I wouldn't be attending any type of OCS, I have to learn as much as I can on my own. This book has described all the branches, career paths, promotions, etc. It's been an invaluable tool and helped me make my decision an where to go in the Army - Military Police Corps.

This reference will tell you everything you need to know and more about being an Army officer.
Must have resource for new officers January 10, 2007
I read this before Basic, and it made my life a lot easier. It's full of "somebody should have told me" information. I bought an older version than is currently available, which doesn't have the ACUs or beret, but much of the information is a hundred years old and still relevant.
