AMEN!! When I was a Jr Sailor, I know how mean, heartless, and clueless to what was going on with me I thought my Chiefs were.... just like as a teenager, I thought that about the adults in my life... But just like as parents, we know how untrue those teenage thoughts are (because as parents we do know, and we do care), the same holds true for that Chiefs Mess. A Chief will chew their butt when needed because they WANT that Sailor to succeed, they've been in that Sailor's shoes (every Chief…
AMEN!! When I was a Jr Sailor, I know how mean, heartless, and clueless to what was going on with me I thought my Chiefs were.... just like as a teenager, I thought that about the adults in my life... But just like as parents, we know how untrue those teenage thoughts are (because as parents we do know, and we do care), the same holds true for that Chiefs Mess. A Chief will chew their butt when needed because they WANT that Sailor to succeed, they've been in that Sailor's shoes (every Chief started as a Seaman...), and they know that there might come a time when the life of that Sailor (or another Sailor) will depend on that lesson they're teaching. Just like a parent, they want that Sailor to succeed and do what's right - and again, like a parent, they're willing to be seen as "mean" or "uncaring" or "unable to understand" to help them to so.

As a Navy vet who has spent over a decade working with Navy families, the wife of a Senior Chief, and the mom of a young Seaman, I just want to say that I wish there was a way to stand up and applaud on here!!<br />
<br />
What you just said is wonderfully expressed and spot on! As hard as it was to send our son off to bootcamp, I knew he was going to be in good hands, because there are so many amazing men and women out there that wear your uniform who are watching over him when I cannot. Thank you for…

Wow chief Thanks so much for your information. I only met my<br />
Son's chief very recently, we had to fly into town<br />
At the last minute. My son decided to Marry his live-in girlfriend<br />
2 weeks prior to deployment. This was not only a upset<br />
And a shock to us for we had only met her 2 times.<br />
<br />
I think the chief and his wife who were the witness could see<br />
The anxiousness that I and my husband displayed.<br />
The chief was very caring and understanding and generous<br />
Of sprit to me on that day. I can not Thank…

The chief was very caring and understanding and generous<br />
Of sprit to me on that day. I can not Thank him enough<br />
For his kind words to me about our new daughter- in-law and<br />
There recent decision.<br />
The chief was so very aware that we as parents, as he was also<br />
A parent could tell we were resigned, to make the<br />
"Best of it."<br />
I know my son is under there care of a strong, knowledgable<br />
Man,<br />

<p>As a Chief's Wife and a new recruits Mom, I want to say Thank You. I have watched my husband over the last 20 years and what ya'll as Chiefs are expected to do is no easy job. As a mother it's no eay job to tell your child just keep your head up and do what your told.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can say this No matter what; I know that Even though Chiefs get a BAD rap, At the end of the day the sailors can go to thier racks or home and complain about what thier chief or Chiefs or XO's did or didn't…</p>

<p>I can say this No matter what; I know that Even though Chiefs get a BAD rap, At the end of the day the sailors can go to thier racks or home and complain about what thier chief or Chiefs or XO's did or didn't do, and how they did it. They are able to do that because of thier training. But those same Chiefs They are still working, trying to decide what the next step is to get this one or that one to pass the next exam or PRT. And what they can do to help thier junior sailors. I know Ya'll as a whole don't hear this much but......from as MOM of a Sailor , I want to say Thank you Chief and all the Chiefs for what you do.</p>
