April 1st 1893. The United States creates the Chief Petty Officers which from the moment to this day have become the backbone of the United States Navy! Their leadership, command, experience, determination are forged resulting in the best trained and most successful naval force ever to go to sea.
Chief Petty Officer, Senior Chief Petty Officer and Command Master Chief are forver defined as the Chiefs and their legacy will continue for the life of the US Navy!
The eighth of the nine enlisted ranks in the United States Navy the Chief Petty Officers are proven leaders with years of experience. They are hardened, trained and possess the ability to command. Chief Petty Officer, Senior Chief Petty Officer and Master Chief Petty Officers since April 1st, 1893 have been the backbone of the United States Navy.
Senior Chiefs still maintain their training and just like the other enlisted ranks int he US Navy they carry their rate and training with pride.
Navy Chief!
Why a goat? The US Navy Chief Petty Officer’s Mess’ have always been referred to as the goatlocker!
The Senior Chief has an anchor and a star! This is experience on top of experience!
Master Chief of the US Navy is the highest enlisted rank one can earn. THe air is thin here when dealing with these accomplished leaders.
Senior Chief Facts
Senior Chiefs only make up about 2.5% of the total enlisted force of the United States Navy and fall within 4% of the total enlisted ranks.
6 enlisted women serve as Command Senior Chiefs (8% of CSCs) in squadrons, onboard ships, and on shore duty.
Senior Chief Date of Birth – created effective June 1, 1958, under a 1958 Amendment to the Career Compensation Act of 1949. Eligibility for promotion to E-8, the Senior Chief level, was restricted to Chiefs (Permanent Appointment) with a minimum of four years in grade and a total of ten years of service.
The Goatlocker!
You have to be a Chief to know and understand what this is but when you earn rank as a Chief you will find out!
Since April 1st, 1893 the United States Navy Chief has been the backbone of the US Navy!
How long have you been in the US Navy?
All me bloomin life, Most Honorable Senior Chief! Me Mother was a mermaid, me father was King Neptune. I was born on the crest of a wave and rocked in the cradle of the deep. Seaweed and barnacles are me clothes. Every tooth in me head is a marlinspike; the hair on me head is hemp. Every bone in me body is a spar, and when I spits, I spits tar! I hard, I is, I am, I are!
Of course there was the week after week sweating out what was coming next, learning my primary orders, figuring out what the hell a blouse was, what a whiskey locker was, what a squad bay was and ultimately who the hell these three Smokey the Bear wearing, muscle bound, khaki wearing, 3 and 4 stripe sleeve donning Drill Instructors were and why they feel the constant need to yell out me? I mean dang I heard them loud and clear and everytime they yelled I heard 50 kid’s tonsils clicking in platoon formation. Dang. I mean seriously.
Memory Lane-
The arrival at MCRD San Diego really started at the San Diego Airport. The plane flight was uneventful and we arrived at night. Hopped off the plane and wouldn’t you know it….our handlers were right there to greet us and make sure we made the bus trip to MCRD SD right on time. Nobody missed that bus.
So here I am, a 95 pound weakling wearing red rimmed glasses and fresh out of college on what I thought would be a fun way to spend my summer. I was wrong. Not fucking shit. I was really wrong. Even my dad told me on the drive from SW portland, OR to the airport that I was in for experience. I shaked my head because at that time I was still in the doubting stages of parental wisdom and really had no comprehension for what my dad was saying. Deny it. Ignore it. It didn’t matter. I was heading for mother green and her killing machine or more affectionately known as “The Suck”!
I guess that it did not matter that right after I left for bootcamp my parents started building their new home and suprisingly enough they did not have a bedroom planned for my return. I wasn’t entirely sure how to handle that. Felt like the helicopters you would see on tv where they were bingo fuel and the fuel gauge read point of no return. Well I was that helicopter with Marine Corps bootcamp in front of me and no domicile behind me. I was going forward cause there was no looking back.
Arrival MCRD San Diego
The yellow footprints!
So off the bus we come not having a clue what was in store for us. The drill instructors (not exactly yelling at us because we weren’t even maggots in their opinion and worth the effort) had us line up and place our feet on these little yellow footprints. Had no clue what they were or what they meant but that would soon change.
Lined up in no particular order and headed into the first building colored in a strange light yellow/tan with red tiled roofs. Stucco. Inside we leared the first thing one ever learns possibly in the military and that is what is meant by the term hurry up and wait. Long lines, standing for hours and then finally we arrive in what I can only describe as a small barbur shop type room where smal mountains of hair populated the floor and literally could be measured in feet. Quite easily the most disturbing place a person could witness if they belonged to the Hair Club For men. All that hair and nothing to wear!
5 minutes later and after my contribution of hair to the sea of follicles layin g on the floor was completed I left the room, shaved, a little lighter and certainly became more accutely aware of the drafts throughout the complex.
Next up we get to grab our gear!
We get all this shit for free?
Far from the truth and why anyone would make that leap of faith is beyond me. There were guys from all over the country that had never worn a pair of jeans without holes in them. This was the first time they had a seen something that was not tattered, torn or badly mustard and french fry grease stained.
Then there was paperwork, more sitting around (they called it Indian Style) the room waiitng for another screaming Sergeant to tell us what to do. There was the contraband room where we removed every ounce of whatever we brought with us from the previous life we were in the process of shedding. Seemed like we were close to finally getting out of this room. Not.
Look who is waiting! – Is it jsut me or are all Drill Instructors built the same and have the same “I am going to punish you” look on their faces. I think so.
Some people just dont give a damn. Sad to say the “Money Changers are in the Temple” as the Saturn worshipers exemplify materialism, greed, selfishness, carelessness, and most of all violence to get what they want for the lowest base price. People are definitely spending the wrong “Mon-Eye”. They should SPEND more time on caring for one another and PAY attention to what is most important- FAMILY. Wake up Merica!

1. WKRP In Cincinnati – Turkeys Away!
“As God as my witness, i thought turkeys could fly.”
All the way back on October 30th, 1978, WKRP In Cincinnati, a show about a family run rock music radio station, aired a classic episode called “Turkeys Away.” the plot of the episode was that Mr. Carlson, the owner, feels a little useless after the change over to a new format rock & roll music radio station. He decides to create a big Thanksgiving Day promotion. He rents a helicopter and has a banner attached to it that says, “Happy Thanksgiving From WKRP” and then drops live turkeys from the helicopter to give them away to happy families… not knowing that Turkeys can’t fly.
2. Sesame Street Thanksgiving Dinner
3. Alice’s Restaurant (Illustrated Version)
Warning: This was recorded in 1967 and has some foul language and concepts in it, but we wanted to include this in our list as it has been making it’s rounds on Twitter.
“Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” is a musical monologue by singer-songwriter Arlo Guthrie released on his 1967 album Alice’s Restaurant. The song is one of Guthrie’s most prominent works, based on a true incident in his life that began on Thanksgiving Day 1965, and which inspired a 1969 movie of the same name. Apart from the chorus which begins and ends it, the “song” is in fact a spoken monologue, with ragtime guitar backing.
Though the song’s official title, as printed on the album, is “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” (pronounced “mass-a-cree”), Guthrie states in the opening line of the song that “This song’s called ‘Alice’s Restaurant'” and that “‘Alice’s Restaurant’… is just the name of the song;” as such, the shortened title is the one most commonly used for the song today.
In an interview for All Things Considered, Guthrie said the song points out that any American citizen who was convicted of a crime, no matter how minor (in his case, it was littering), could avoid being conscripted to fight in the Vietnam War.” (Source: Wikipedia)
