Default Most Honorable Genuine Navy Chiefs....

I suppose this is as good a place to post as any.

Announcement:

To: Most Honorable Genuine Chiefs,

It is my honor to introduce myself as Builder Chief Select as of today.

Any Advice?


To the rest of you...
If that looks confusing it's ok... I understand. I was selected for promotion to Chief Petty Officer in the U.S. Navy today and I'm making the rounds to introduce the new me to every Chief I know. I wasn't sure if we might have one running around HBT so I figured I'd cover my bases. Over the next 3 months or so, I've got to go through "season of transition" the name for what used to be called Chiefs Initiation (before the PC folks got a hold of it) Which includes calling every Chief I ever knew.

Wish me luck.

I "got" to participate in a Chief's Initiation as a junior officer. Probably would have been fun if I hadn't been forced to be there. I wasn't the junior officer in the wardroom, but the Chiefs didn't want a female officer to attend. Next round, they were stuck with one & she thought is was great fun.

PS Congrats on the promotion.

100 sailors go out to sea and 50 couples come back

Just a friendly joke from one of a couple Jarheads on the sight.
Congratulations on the promotion you should be proud.

Damn I missed this. Congratulations.

The active duty board just kicked off last week, so I should know about mid-August whether or not I'll be changing uniforms.

Again, Congrats. You are a chief now, I can't like you.
