Speaking of CPO's my cousins step uncle was a CPO . Salty old geezer. Stationed on the USS John Hood in the early 60s from what I can remember. He was 6'1" and shaped like a wedge on legs. But from what I gather he was a just and fair man. But wether from above or below, nobody gave him any crap.



Chief Petty Officers are the backbone of the Navy. Everyone, including
Commanding Officers, have a high level of respect for them and will give
them a wide berth in many situations, allowing them to resolve problems
or issues among the crew.
