Since the release of the first edition of Career Compass more than two decades ago, the landscape of a Navy officer’s career has transformed significantly, adapting to societal changes while upholding the Navy’s core values of service and excellence. This fully revised second edition offers updated insights into the evolving culture, communication strategies, career opportunities, and management practices, all while reinforcing the enduring importance of exceptional performance.   This new edition includes crucial updates on mentoring, graduate education, sea-shore rotations, Washington duty, fitness reports, and career-planning tools, including strategies for engaging with community detailers. It highlights the principles that will keep every officer—from midshipman to admiral—eligible and competitive for promotion and command while also remaining competent and capable of performing the necessary duties supporting the requirements of naval service. Drawing on more than twenty years of experience mentoring midshipmen and junior officers, author Douglas H. Rau presents this guide as a vital resource for aspiring officers looking to navigate their Navy careers with purpose, foresight, and success.
