New CPOs!

[PRB]

I just drove past the CPO Club on the base and saw many cars parked, and then it occurred to me that today is the day new Chiefs get their anchors pinned on. And that means yesterday was no fun at all for the hapless selectees... Oh dear, I remember that day well. My left eye has even fully recovered... Congratulations new Chiefs!

Sept. 16, 1981. Proudest day of my Navy career. After which the Navy apparently decided I would be dangerous at a higher pay grade so I never made Senior Chief. :icon_lol:

Wow, we made CPO on the same day, Willy!

Tarps, the Navy probably decided that I wasn't politically correct enough to make Senior.

P, yep it was a very good day. I was on the USS Frank Cable (AS-40) in Charleston then.

September 16, 1987 was my SPECIAL day:)

From what I have heard and read.......today's initiation proceedings are a joke compared to what we went through.......
