United States Navy Memorial

The impact of Navy Chiefs runs deep, shaping the core of many Sailors in our Navy. In our "Honor a Chief" exhibit, RDML Frank Thorp IV, USN, Ret. recognizes and celebrates his first chief, Boatswains Mate Chief Torrez who he credits for "teaching me how to be a good officer." "I have lived my life trying to live up to his leadership qualities. He invested in me, and I will be forever in debt to him. He also taught me, by example, how to work with a Chief. He taught me, again by example, that Chiefs really make the Navy run. And they deserve respect." Our exhibit gives visitors a real and personable insight into the MANY (and sometimes unexpected) ways a Navy Chief makes an impact. Is there a chief you would honor, recognize, and celebrate with our exhibit in the Navy Memorial? If so, visit https://lnkd.in/eaknE6bH for more information.

Congratulations to our Navy’s new chief petty officers! Today these leaders pin on their anchors, don their cover, and begin their journey as deckplate leaders of competence and character, who will shape our Navy’s culture. Our chiefs are charged to take care of our warfighters every single day and help them connect their dot to the mission of America’s Warfighting Navy, I have no doubt they will live up to that charge.
