Comments: I came across this website while looking for information about the "goat locker" and started to read and then to sign the deck log. I made chief on board the USS Expliot MSO 440 in Sept 1986. My mentor was ENCM(SW) Jim Stearns who was the command master chief who was also my sponser for the initiation and I would not change any bit of it. I think that it is really not the same now and I the tradition is going by the wayside with the new chiefs missing a great tradition.I really am proud to be in the brotherhood and my time as a CPO Thanks, ENC(SW) Bill Emhoff (Ret)

Duty Stations: U.S.S. Reeves (CG-24)
Comments: I joined the Navy after serving 7 years in the U.S. Air Force. I spent 16 years in the Navy. I served on the USS Reeves for 8 years and worked my way up from Seaman to Chief in 9 years as a Firecontrolman. After retirement I earned my Type 10 Teaching Certificate in Special Education. As a teacher I worked hard for disadvantaged/at-risk high school children in Chicago. I earned a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts from the University of Chicago in 2002. I am 63 years old and can say without hesitation that all my success was due to my experience, both good and bad, in the United States Navy. Making Chief Petty Officer was the most important accomplishment of my life. Being a Chief was the toughest job I ever had. There isn't a day I don't think about the Navy and the life that taught me how to stand up for what I believed to be right.
