I just hit the biggest milestone in my Navy career. I was selected for promotion to Chief Petty Officer (CPO)! This was my 5th attempt at selection, and I finally saw my name on the list. Today begins six weeks of training to transition into the new role. There's nothing like this in any other branch of the military, and I'll be busy in the coming weeks with leadership training, team building, and self reflection. When all of this culminates on the day of pinning (Sept. 16th), I'll be known in the Navy as Chief!

" The annual list of Chief selectees is authorized by Congress, leading CPOs to sometimes state, "it took an act of Congress to put these anchors here, it will take an act of Congress to take them off." "
