Colonel Liburdi's fascinating book is packed with straight talk to help newly commissioned Air Force officers get their careers off to a Flying Start. The Colonel doesn't attempt to provide the reader with an all-inclusive reference volume that's teeming with rhetoric; instead, he addresses a host of officership issues in a very colloquial manner. All that information is structured into a large and well organized collection of data bursts, each one containing highly relevant career advice. Colonel Liburdi's spirited book constitutes a quick infusion that will immunize young officers from many painful learning experiences. The Colonel's mentoring is very encouraging, somewhat shocking, and absolutely priceless!
