E. J. Jernigan's memoir offers listeners a fascinating glimpse of life as an enlisted man aboard the USS Saufley, one of the most highly decorated destroyers of World War II. It is a rarely told story of the sailors who fought the war from boiler rooms, after-steering spaces, radio shacks, and other gritty places that keep a warship going. For the author, it was a world of strong emotions and quick reactions, where men had to adapt and grow if they were to survive.

A revealing of a substandard Navy
Reviewed: 09-11-23
A substandard Navy full of bigotry, booze, lust and cultural indifferences unacceptable by the standards of today. For this item to be part of the Chief Petty Officer reading list demonstrates a disconnect by naval leadership to exemplify and endorse a standard of conduct expected from service members today.
