Description: Fleet Reserve Association: Brotherhood of the Sea USN – USMC – USCG Robert W. Nolan 1993 Turner publishing 448 page hardcover Blue boards with gilt graphics – black and white photos ___________________________________________________ This book is an extraordinarily detailed history of an extraordinary organization and is, therefore, something more than that. It is the story of the changes and growth and military pay and benefits over the years and the Congressional battles and actions each step the way. As such, it also is something of a handbook on lobbying. The Fleet Reserve Association (FRA to its members) takes its name from a unique navy structure created during preparations for WWI as a way station between active service and retirement for Sailors the fleet might need again. The Navy enlisted man, on completing 20 years of active service, doesn’t retire, he goes into the fleet reserve, subject to recall on short notice in an emergency. Over the years the Navy has repeatedly turned to its fleet reserve when in need it trained specialists.
