The Goat Locker CPO Deck Log Jan-Mar 2009
CPO email addresses are available by clicking on the CPO's name. I also have a separate listing of just CPO email addresses available. Please note that all email addresses worked when placed on this page. Overtime some may not work due to Chiefs changing their Internet providers. You can save the file and use your browser to view it off line or you can view it with any word processor. Use your browsers "find" or "search" command and search for shipmates by rate, name or command. To even further keep entries secure from SPAM I have added a "2" after every @ symbol in each email address. So if you go to email someone remove the "2" from the address.

As the USS KIDD's bumper sticker stated, "When your good, you're gone" I should know, I got $50 bucks from the RecFund for winning that sarcastic remark at morning quarters while in port and it became the ship's motto. MACM Hedgepath overheard the remark and said, Hey Doc, I like that; he wouldn't leave me alone until I entered it in the contest. DOO-DOO OCCURS !!! DocFleck

To all the new and up and coming Chiefs Pearls of Wisdom:
“None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony, a few nuns or a couple of Angry Crotchedy Chiefs - bent down and helped us pick up our boots”. Thurgood Marshall and my added Chiefly flavor
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Comments: Served in the Navy from January 1951 to July 1972. The Navy will always be my favorite time of my life. The Navy treated me very good and I can never say anything bad about my time. My only regret is that I never made E-8, which was my own doing. I was a third class petty officer with over 6 years. I married my present wife Nan and from that point on I feel I advanced at a good normal rate. I am now a member of the Fleet Reserve Association, Kempsville Branch 99. I have been fortunate enough to have served as Branch Secretary, Vice President, President, served on the board of directors, been chairman of various committee both on the branch level, Regional level and National Level. I am presently the Treasurer of the East Coast Region and have served for nine continuous years.
