App still references the previous Enlisted Advancement Manual, which updated from BUPERSINST 1430.16F to 1430.16G a year ago (19 Feb 2018). Current references are critical to providing accurate guidance.

About this app

What is the Shellback app?
Shellback, formerly known as eDivo, is a free mobile app developed to support US Naval Surface Force (SURFOR) personnel in an easy-to-access offline environment.

What is a Shellback?
In naval tradition, a Shellback is a nickname for a Sailor who has crossed the Equator and thus transitioned from a novice Sailor, or Pollywog, to an experienced Sailor.

Why do I need Shellback?
Shellback provides Sailors the ability to download key SURFOR information on their own portable devices and access it while underway without the need for an internet connection. Shellback provides the most relevant and current information to SURFOR Sailors in one location. Content is scheduled for annual updates.

What type of info can I find in Shellback?
The information in Shellback is separated into several main categories:

Admin/Training: Contains the Correspondence Manual and the SURFOR Training and Readiness Manual.

Medical: Includes the Manual of the Medical Department, information on medical and physical readiness, mental health, Medical Evaluation Board procedures, the Disability Evaluation System, family member readiness, and more.
