Navy Chiefs really are the backbone of the Navy. Junior enlisted rely on their technical expertise and guidance for professional development, but many don't realize officers require those same things from the Chief's Mess even more. The Chief's Mess is absolutely necessary for the continuity of a strong, resilient Naval force - no successful chief, junior enlisted, or officer exists today without the influence and guidance of the Chief's Mess.
If you need something done right, give it to a Chief Petty Officer! Happy 131st birthday to the backbone of the #USNavy ⚓ On April 1, 1893, the rank of Chief Petty Officer as we know it today was officially established. CPOs hold significant importance as they are responsible for leadership, mentorship, and technical expertise within their specific field, and bridge the gap between junior enlisted Sailors and commissioned officers, providing crucial experience and guidance. Thank you CPOs for being a foundational member of our Navy family! You are indispensable assets in all our naval operations! 🎉 #CPOBirthday
