Culinary Specialists (CS) receive extensive training in cooking,
baking, dining and living area management. Navy Culinary
Specialists provide food service for admirals and senior government
executives and run the White House Mess for the President of the
United States. They are responsible for all aspects of the dining
(mess decks) and living areas, Culinary Specialists work in the
'heart of the ship, ' and are vital in maintaining high crew morale
on the ship and every shore base
Developed for Navy SEAL trainees to help them meet the rigorous
demands of the Naval Special Warfare (NSW) community, this
comprehensive guide covers all the basics of physical well being as
well as advice for the specific challenges encountered in extreme
conditions and mission-related activities. Topics covered include
calculating energy expenditure; definitions, functions, and daily
allowances of carbohydrates, fats, and protein; nutritional
considerations for endurance and strength training activities;
active recovery from injury; cardio-respiratory conditioning;
appropriate gear for running and swimming for fitness; exercising
in extreme and adverse weather; and more. Compiled by physicians
and physiologists chosen for their knowledge of the NSW and SEAL
community, this manual is a unique resource for anyone wanting to
improve his or her health, strength, and endurance.
This textbook presents the elements of applied aerodynamics and
aeronautical engineering which relate directly to flight training
and general flight operations. Originally published by the U.S.
Navy and revised in 1965. A long-established U.S. Navy publication
also used by the U.S. Air Force as well as by the FAA as a source
reference for their own publications, for more than 50 years this
textbook has been a definitive source that communicates the
complexities of applied aerodynamics and aeronautical engineering
for both the beginner and the experienced pilot. Flight safety and
effectiveness depends greatly on the understanding and appreciation
of how and why an airplane flies, and this resource teaches
aerodynamic principles, providing the foundation for developing
precise flying techniques and operational procedures. The
information in "Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators" is applicable to
flight training, transition training, reciprocating and
turbine-powered airplanes, and general flying operations. It offers
the elements of both theory and application, covering basic
aerodynamics, high-speed aerodynamics, airplane performance,
stability and control, operation strength limitations, and the
application of aerodynamics to specific problems of flying, such as
the region of reversed command, wind shear, effects of ice and
frost, ground effect, and collision avoidance. Also included are an
index and a list of selected references.
Striking, beautiful, and haunting, UNCOMMON GRIT takes a unique,
unprecedented look at the toughest training in the military -- and
the world -- from the vantage point of someone who lived through
it. Retired Navy SEAL Darren McBurnett, includes vivid descriptions
of both the physical and mental evolutions that occur as a result
of the immensely challenging SEAL training process. His stunning
photographs, partnered with his compelling insights and sharp sense
of humor, allow the reader to laugh, cringe, gasp, and even
envision themselves going through this extraordinary experience.
The Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series (NEETS) was
developed for use by personnel in many electrical and
electronic-related Navy ratings. Written by, and with the advice
of, senior technicians in these ratings, this series provides
beginners with fundamental electrical and electronic concepts
through self-study. The presentation of this series is not oriented
to any specific rating structure, but is divided into modules
containing related information organized into traditional paths of
instruction. The series is designed to give small amounts of
information that can be easily digested before advancing further
into the more complex material. For a student just becoming
acquainted with electricity or electronics, it is highly
recommended that the modules be studied in their suggested
sequence.
The United States Navy's guide to bugling remains a useful text for
aspiring players of the instrument, and for musicians considering
naval service - this edition includes every illustration and piece
of musical notation. Bugles have been an important feature in
military tradition for centuries: on the battlefield as a method of
signalling a charge or withdrawal; in the training of soldiers in
sounding the times in barracks; and as a ceremonial instrument
during military parades, celebrations, funerals and other such
events. It was the Navy's hope that many Americans - enlisted or
otherwise - would learn the bugle through this guidebook. Over 150
musical notations are printed in this book. Generally speaking,
they become more advanced in terms of phrasing and notation as the
reader proceeds through the pages. The program lays out a time
frame upon which the player should advance his abilities and
teaches the basics of musical theory such as the staves, reading
notation, and the timing of play.
Blueprints (prints) are copies of mechanical or other types of
technical drawings. The term blueprint reading means interpreting
ideas expressed by others on drawings, whether or not the drawings
are actually blueprints. Drawing or sketching is the universal
language used by engineers, technicians, and skilled craftsmen.
Drawings need to convey all the necessary information to the person
who will make or assemble the object in the drawing. Blueprints
show the construction details of parts, machines, ships, aircraft,
buildings, bridges, roads, and so forth.
