7.Happy Birthday Chief Petty Officers | RallyPoint
Today marks the 122nd Birthday of the creation of the Rate/Rank of Chief Petty Officer within the United States Navy. To all my brother and sister CPO's Happy Birthday and thank you for your service and leadership. It has been my honor to serve with you. There have been several questions asked by members of the other services about Chief Petty Officers. Here is a post from Command Master Chief Peter Yeschenko, USN (Ret). Today...1 April 2015 our Nation celebrates 122 years of the United States Navy Chief Petty Officer!!! Since 1893, Chiefs have been charged with the responsibility of ensuring our Sailors are the best in the world, ready to carry out our Navy's mission when our Nation calls. The Chiefs lead by example with pride, character, and loyalty, a strong commitment to leadership, our core values, and the Navy ethos. WHAT IS A UNITED STATES CHIEF PETTY OFFICERS?! Commissioned officers are in charge of the department, ship or shore station, and are ultimately accountable for the performance of the entire unit, the Navy Chief is in charge of getting the work done through the junior enlisted sailors. Chief’s train junior officers, especially when they first report for duty on their first ship. Although newly commissioned officers have a newly received college degree, they are unfamiliar with the workings of a Naval ship, submarine or Air Squadron, as well as the tasks of the department or crew their assigned to. Although the pay grades of E-7 through E-9 are equivalent to those of other services, the Navy is unique in that it confers much more authority and responsibility on the Chief, while demanding more performance and results than any of the other services. Advancement into the CPO grades is the most significant promotion within the enlisted Naval ranks. Typically, when a Petty Officer First Class and lower ranks go up for advancement, they are promoted based on an advancement examination score. However, when a Sailor makes “Chief,” the candidate must pass the written examination, be selected by a special board made up Master Chief Petty Officers, and Commissioned Officers, and then the selectee is ”Appointed” by the Bureau of Naval Personnel, and “initiated/inducted/transitioned/CPO-365 ” into the ranks of the Chief Petty Officers. A Chief Petty Officer, no matter how much he was on a ”first name” basis with other petty officers before promotion, is always addressed as “Chief” by subordinates and superiors. When a Sailor has a problem, or is in a crisis situation, he or she goes to “Ask The Chief.” CPO’s often are the instrument of swift decision, and are always relied on to get things done; visible leaders who set the tone. And, they are charged with keeping good order and discipline within their commands. Chief’s provide leadership to the enlisted force and advice to Navy leadership to create combat-ready Naval Forces. They are the senior enlisted force that serves first and foremost as deckplate leaders committed to developing Sailors and enforcing standards. The term “deckplate leaders” is a slang, everyday Navy term referring to the Chief Petty Officer’s leadership. In naval terminology, the deckplate can roughly refer to the deck, or the area of the deck of a ship or submarine. Admiral Mike Mullen, the former Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) (2005 to 2007) and former Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) (2007 to 2011), stressed the importance of deckplate leadership in a podcasted message to the Navy’s newest Chief Petty Officers in the fall of 2007 when he said: “You can’t be a Chief from behind a computer screen or in an email or even on the phone. You’ve got to be there, out on the deckplates with your people and their families. You’ve got to walk the spaces. It’s the first principle of naval leadership.” PROUD TO BE PART OF THE CHIEFS MESS!
