I am so full of pride and no matter the challenge I am currently facing through my transition and the years to come, I can get on with each day with little to no sleep with a smile on my face. I have been so lucky to have had many GREAT Chiefs in my past that have paved the wayto get me where I am today as well as my junior sailors who got me here today as well. I look forward to my new life as amember of the hallowed brotherhood of Chief Petty Officers of this fine United States Navy. Thank you all for allowing me into "THE MESS".V/R, CTRC(SW) Buffy Drake

Comments: Hell Yeah, I finally made it. I still remember when I was in boot camp the first time I saw a Chief Petty Officer. The respect and admiration for that guy was unbelivable. They called him the rainmaker (I know every ship had a rainmaker) because he could PT a division until the walls sweated (in Great Lakes during the winter of 95-96). I knew then and there that a CPO was what I wanted to be. I would like to take a minute and say hey to a few of my fellow selectees who I have known since my time on the USS Michigan (Gold) SSBN 727. ETC Feldman, STSC Devany, MMC McCarthy, and YNC White. Good luck shipmates, see you on the other side of the happiest day of my life 15 September 2006.

Comments: At one point, I thought that I may have imagined what it would be like to make the transition into the Hallowed Halls of the World's Finest Chief's Mess; I am sure it was arrogance. I understand today unlike I did any other; I realize that nothing I have done before reaching this threshold could have prepared me for what Inow know I must accomplish and become. While I wear this smile one my face along side myCPO Select brethren Victor, Franklin, and Alvin, I understand that wenow share a bond exceeded in strength only by family and the world-wide brotherhood of the Chief Petty Officer. Even as I write these words I realize that they alone are not enough to convey my awe. I owe a debt of gratitude (that may not be apparent in the next few weeks) to the Honorable Chiefs and More Honorable Senior Chiefs at CID LS San Diego for taking their time to make this moment in my life what it is meant to be: a transition from a state of doubt into a state of certainty that all things are! possible.

Comments: I would like to start by saying thank you to all Chief Petty Officers for your personal guidance during my journey through the Navy. ATC Eric Redmond was the first person to take me under his wing and taught me the basics of what it would take to become selected into the CPO community. AVCM David Banner, AOCS Kelly Smith and AOC Dallas Smith also stood by me through my efforts to make it "To the Wall." They also provided tons of guidance through strong wills and a few one-way conversations. Again, thank you to all Chief Petty Officers. To my selectee brothers, good luck and I hope to meet each and every one of you sometime in my life. My last, and biggest thanks goes to my wife, Celeste. Hang on baby, I'll be home soon, and hopefully you'll be there waiting even though you'll be the biggest help in getting me through this, just as you have been since I met you. I love you.

Second, to HTCS(ret) Earl Huitt, BM1/ML1(ret) Kriss Zeller- your guidance as a young HT was what I founded my entire career on; and to NCC(ret) Rich O'Connell who taught me so much of what the real meaning of Navy Counselor stood for-forever I will thank you! Third, to the CPO mess of VP-8 (to include CMDCM Blackston, now attached to CPRW-11)- You have guided, mentored and supported me over the past three years and I will forever be in debt too each of you! and finally (yet never lastly)- the CPO mess of COMPATRECONWING Five- what a great first day in the command- I look forward to learning from you and working with you! For those that are not mentioned by name, you are not forgotten- you are my sails that kept me moving through the waters- thank you! PROSPECTIVE Chiefs- We each have waited and worked a long time for this moment- EMBRACE it, Know and Learn from what we see and hear and most of all, enjoy the new Sea Stories that we are about to add to our logbooks! The most successful people in life are generally those who have the best information.-Benjamin Disraeli

Comments: Congratulations to all CPO Selectees. I had just found out yesterday that I have been selected. I remember sitting next to my uncle, (William Douglas) telling me stories about when he was in the Navy and how he always looked up to the Chiefs Quarters. Since then it has been a goal of mine to be apart of the Chief's Mess. In 1996 when I joined the US Navy he was thrilled that I was going to follow his foot steps. Unfortunately he had past away a few years back and missed the opportunity to celebrate this tremendous accomplishment with me in person, but I know without any hesitation he is unbelievably proud and telling all of his friends in heaven that his nephew is going to be a Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy.

I first hit the deck plates on the USS Kiska (AE-35) in 1988, served about the USS Roarke (FF-1053) in 1991, and also own a plank from the USS Vicksburg (CG-69), where I served from 1991-1994. I helped send new recruits off to boot camp, working at the Atlanta MEPS from 1994-1997. In 1997, I left the active Navy to join CARGRU 0667, which later became CARGRU 0267. In 2004, I joined the Intel community at EUCOM JAC 0167. I want to take a moment to thank the Greater Atlanta Chiefs for their support. Without that, the FY07 selectees could never have reached this goal. As I look around at the quality of leadership represented in the Chief's Mess, it amazes me how much knowledge and wisdom, and how many years of service to this great nation, are represented there. I am proud and humbled to be joining such a group.
