U.S. Navy - The Making of a Chief

[@Peterbilt359]

My dad was a CPO 20 year navy 12 more civil service fixing electronics on ships. He was tough as hell. When I got out HS he wanted me to join, I told him I've had 18 years of navy that's enough. I thought our floor in home was a deck, had to roll garden hose flat on deck. My bed was made every day not one missed. Every sat my room had to pass inspection before I was allowed out. I very seldom passed. Then we cleaned ammonia and water wash all walls, always cleaning. Old guy is 89 now I go see him every Sunday, he got a Purple Heart in Korea a shell came in killed everyone in compartment but him. Old guy is still as tough as nails and cleans his house every day. My wife asked me to just give him a hug, ha I said are you crazy he would think I've lost my mind. No affection ever, you will take advice and do as your told and when you screw up you will hear about it forever. He has taught me few things. I know how to work. And clean, be respectful, don't be a racist, never eat with your hat on.

Tell me !

[@cinchii2200]

You Should be pround to be in US navy ....why, because I am in a South Vietnamese veteran navy and the pay just about 12 dollars a moth in 1972 and we do not have a water to shower and do not have a coke machine and no hair cut, no movie, no good food, meat just blank soup, fish and rice. So just be bless to have every thing in a US navy, just look around the world a lots of people without food, jobs and home.

For someone not even in USN this is a great video. Now if I can only understand the transition and differences to Senior.

[@jaybird4812]

I went to sea on Nimitz back in the seventies when she was first doing sea trials, really impressive, cutting edge in technology.....I was on other carriers, FDR, The FID, The JFK as well as other Navy ships but the Nimitz was the star trek ship at that time......

Dental Hygienist Jonna Obermiller made it and was promoted to Chief Hospital Corpsman (HMC). She was subsequently stationed at NAS Whidbey Island.

12:14 You have never done enough to have the opportunity to be a Chief. Never think you have done enough.

Bobby Medina did they deserved or what??..what's your opinion?

[@wilshirewarrior2783]

Spent 4 years aboard an aircraft carrier and worked my butt off with little sleep at sea. I did not blame the Chiefs for not standing watches as we E5s and below did 4 on 4 off but I never received an encouraging word or deed from a Chief before I left the navy. The Marine E7s earn their pay by close contact and development of individual Marines.....Chiefs could not care less in my experience.

[@User-nu6km]

chiefs think just because their uniform resembles the officers they are superior to everyone

[@Mutlap]

I had this experience in the Marine Corps with the Navy in the same barracks. The Navy personnel did not care for a high level interaction, Marine to Navy. Marine Corps teaches subordinates needs should be provided for and cared for before one self.

"It would behoove of you..." "How you doing guy" "Go to medical!" "You got a chit for that?"

[@leewright1209]

I was impressed by this video but I would like to tell 1st class petty officers all of you even if you're not in a lpo billet you could loose your chief and lpo and you might have to step up as the acting chief so continue to learn even if you're not selected by the board you just can't let your division flounder adrift and hope that big Navy sends you a chief what helped me was I had a good chief that was a great mentor so when I had to step up and I was about to retire I had to step up in that role the fact that you are a First Class somebody most have thought you had that something in my day you wouldn't even be a 1st class if you were unsure of yourself and didn't have that confidence

[@duckgoesmooo]

That group chanting thing is just creepy. It's like sky daddy praying.

[@tavishmacintaggart4442]

Antonio Brown was promoted to Chief and was just promoted again to Senior Chief.

I know we all hope for the best for ourselves, but why do each person sound like they lack confidence in themself?

[@erikrick]

i like how so many prefaced their statements with "currently". better not see that in an eval!

[@candyandy3072]

Supervise and upkeep... Sounds like my job at ALDO

[@jaybird4812]

Having read some of the comments below, I have to say something has changed.....I came into the Navy during the Vietnam era,,,, never went there, but the mission was global Anyway, I went everywhere North Atlantic, South Atlantic, South Pacific, Indian Ocean, Meditteranian and the chiefs were indispensible, could not have done the missions without them, coupled with some of the finest officers that the Navy has to offer.....; You know what you were getting into, so stop whining and be a man....sea duty is not for the faint of heart.....

Okay. You should've not joined the navy in the first place if you know its gonna be bad. Also the niners suck LOL.

[@40101rp]

Dude, it's a lot worse then people think. Expectations are shot down. I did one year and they kicked me out for a "mental condition". Really, it started with a rumor about me going crazy. The Navy is petty and political. Unless you've been in it and really know how it is, you really can't say anything. I loved being in the military, but there are those who ruin it. That, and we came in for different reasons.

[@Charlezard.]

Dental techs actually get hands on with patients? I've only gotten to do shore duty so far and here and my last command, they stood by with my record as the dentist did the work.

[@charleslytle7529]

these new time chief petty officers are nothing like they were in 1965-1970. they were learned men and very valueable. now they are just politically put in to be chiefs-such a watered down navy now.

U failed the Navy

[@Kevin-mk6jo]

The initiation is not a requirement. Be within standards, CO promotion endorsement and leadership academy which is mostly some fat chief reading off a PowerPoint. Don't be fooled by the so called u have to do this. If they say that to u or discriminate u in any way, go to legal, do an IG. As long as the chiefs mess is using a federal institution, they cannot prevent u from meetings, etc. Heck, the association needs permission from the base CO to operate and.... not part nor endorsed by the Navy anyways. Know your rights and exercise them. And u will get pinned when u get paid... unless u get frocked before that, only the CO can retain frocking and if he does, what was the reason? If u met the standard, they cannot prevent frocking. Get legal involved, you will win. Once you are pinned as a chief, never ever be part of a DRB, not part of the legal system nor required... sometimes those idiots in a DRB cause more harm than anything. If u ever in a DRB, ask for a lawyer and keep your mouth shut, chances are, command has nothing on u. Stay in the DRB until 1630 and walk out at 1631, only the CO can secure your regular liberty, but ask the senior person first if he or she is securing your liberty. Unless they have a letter from the CO, they can't cause it isn't punitive. Know your rights....
