Comments: The only reason I am here is because a long list of shipmates have kept me on course and looked out for me. There is no way I could have ever made it this far in the Navy by myself. So many of you as CPO's or LPO's have smacked me on my head to get a clue and to keep going. The 21st is your day. You all did the work. I just had to learn to shut up and get with the program. As a Chief I really want to pay back all that effort spent on me by helping my sailors like I was led. I am actually singing "Anchors Aweigh" to help my baby girl go to sleep at night (4 rounds usually does it). My hat is tipped to the many First Classes that deserve to be here with me this time and hope next year they get their due.

Comments: Good morning most honorable Master Chiefs, very honorable Senior Chiefs, and honorable Chiefs. This FY08 CPO Selectee respectfully requests permission to enter the hallowed walls of the great CPO Mess! Although there are many people to whom I am thankful for helping me reach this stage of my career, I would like to take time to thank the most deserving of those...the ones who are not here yet. If it weren't for the sailors that had worked for me from the time I became an LPO this would not be possible. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication. I would also like to thank my wife and children. Without your support on the homefront through all the deployments and TDYs this would not have been possible.

Comments: WOW! I MEAN WOW! Where do i begin? There are so many people to thank both good and bad, that it would take me too long to mention them all. Maybe if my left hand was fully recovered i would. But here are a few: LT Palmerone (NSSC XO) for LPO who if did not make LDO was probably be MCPON. Chris, you are one of the reasons I am wearing this. CMDCM(SS) Greenough and chiefs qtrs onboard HGR. Thanks for the help and guidance on everything. Thank you. I would have loved to been onboard as YNLPO when results came out. A lot of you know that was my first tour was as a E1 onboard. What better way to say goodbye than to make YNC onboard and go thru DECOM. I did get time as COW and DOOW. That is something i thought i would never do as a E1. Just so all know, Tumor inside spine was benign. Gained a lot of weight after surgery. (laugh) looked like the Pillsbury dough boy, people were asking if they could get hazardous duty pay due to the stress on the buttons, and if the uniform actually came in spandex. Working on getting strength and senses back in left arm. Can run and swim a PRT but cant do push ups or sit ups. I would ask for your guidance on getting that strength back, but I have been selected for chief, so I'm going to take the initiative and get that strength back myself thanks to the direction and guidance you have given me over the years. JP, Don't worry, I didn't forget you. Like I said the list is just too long. The influences I have had the past 10 years has been awesome. There is no better way to say it other than "thank you" V/R YNC(SS)(SEL) Kirk

I never once felt cheated, maybe a bit disappointed, but I charged on leading from the front and managing my career the best I could. Since making First Class I have accomplished many things, had a son, seen hundreds of my students graduate my courses and finally here on the mighty USS CURTS I�ve sailed in support of Counter Narco-Terrorism operations and yes I�ll be pinned by those Chiefs who have Lead me up to and through this years selection board. I have many Leaders both Enlisted and Officers who I truly owe my application too for making my selection possible. I will not name them all, but will name some of the most influential. I�d like to personally thank my first LPO MR1 Casey Bressem (Ret), my first LCPO at sea HTC Mark Carlson, my best bud from the G-town HTC Ronnie Moore, my first CMC as a CTT (I crossed from MR2) CTTCM Wilson, my first LPO to study for CPO with CTTCS Larry Dean, Instructors at NMITC LTJG Ron Betancourt (Mustang), ISC Chad King, and finally, but certainly not lastly OSC(SW) Kenley, My last Chief as a First Class/LPO.

Comments: KNOCK!, KNOCK!, KNOCK! HMC(SEL) Ripps, respectfully request permission to enter the Chiefs Mess. I would be remiss if I didn't thank each and every chief that helped to mold me into the sailor that I am today!!! Without their steadfast devotion to me, the Navy and the mission at hand, I would not be here standing before you, eager for my chance to help carry the torch and begin my journeys as a CHIEF! As a young sailor, I looked at Chief's with great awe, inspiration and aspired for nothing more than to one day be that Chief that others could look up to with such reverance. I have learned over the years that being called a Chief and being a Chief are two different things, and although I may soon be a Chief, the task of mentoring todays junior sailors, first lies within my own abilities to continually adapt, learn and better myself and may never end. I've knocked, I've entered and am ready and willing to carry on this proud tradition!!! V/R HMC(SEL)(SS/FMF) R.J. RIPPS

I couldn't have asked for better role models. I would also like to thank all the Sailors who made it possible for me to be making this entry in the first place. Without your support, hard work, dedication, and patience, I would've never made it here, so to you I am forever indebted. CTNC(SEL)(FMF) Keith Rulison

Comments: Knock, knock, knock. Respectfully request permission to enter the Chief's Mess. It is indeed a rare honor and privilege to be chosen to join this elite fraternity. My only goal right now is to prove myself worthy of my membership. My only long-term goal is to care for my Sailors. It is not, nor has it ever been, about my career. I'm further along than I've ever had the right to be. My service is dedicated to others - upholding the legacy of those who have gone before me, and shaping the future for those who will come after me. FCCM Lutman and ITC Wahlig are two members of the mess most directly responsible for me being where I am today. Hoo-yah!! ITC(SEL)(SW) Robert Labrenz

Comments: Knock...Knock...Knock To all Genuine Chiefs, I am proud yet humbled to introduce myself once again to �The Mess�. I am Machinery Repairman Chief (Select) Ronald Steven Simpson. Although I will attempt to convey my elation, words can not begin to express what it means to me to be in the midst of the most powerful and influential fellowship in the armed services. In 1995 when I was first pinned, I was welcomed into our community without prejudice. I transferred from NOSC Indianapolis to NOSC Detroit in April of 1996 and remained with the center until early in 1998. I met Vere, my lovely wife of eight years in 1997. After several months of difficult home front challenges trying to merge two families with the competing demands between, work, home and military, I left the service in 1998 to focus on building a new family and life here in Michigan. Together Vere and I have four kids; Joshua 21, Brandon 20, Alex 17 and Crystal 13. I attempted to re-affiliate with the Navy Reserves in 2002 and continued to battle back and forth with New Orleans and the NRD regarding the retention of my anchors for two years. Several times I was prepared to don my khakis again, once a chief, always a chief, but each time in the eleventh hour the decision was overturned or disapproved. Finally in 2004 I came to the realization that I would have to swallow my pride and take a mandatory reduction in rank in order to rejoin my community, a hard and large pill to swallow. Do not for one moment believe that I �gave up� my anchors. I paid a high price for stepping away and my anchors were used as an obstacle to success. How�s that for irony. Bitter sweet has the last three years been as I have recalled the burial ceremony for my white hat, the exercises in humility, camaraderie and trust. As I have been made aware, the process has changed to better achieve the desired outcomes. Although the uniform I donned for the last three years was different from yours, not once did you let that diminish the relationship that exists between fellow chiefs. I am truly honored to have been selected for a second time and will not abandon the mess again. As for the season of pride that is upon us, this genuine, card carrying, plaque hanging, black shoe wearing chief select has previously been tested, selected and indoctrinated. However, I stand steadfast and true, ready to embrace the challenges and changes ahead, with a degree reverence tempered with caution. Very respectfully submitted, Ronald S. Simpson Machinery Repairman Chief (Select) Enlisted Facilitator, Master Training Specialist Navy Reserve Center for Naval Leadership, Midwest Region

Comments: KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK, Very loud! If you told me 5 years ago I would be here now after being an E-5 for13 years I would have probably thought you were crazy. Perserverance can pay off, and you can learn some tips and advice along the way to tell others. Thanks to all my family and especially my wife for her support throughout my whole Navy career, active (11 years) and Reserve (11 years) Wish my dad could be here to see this, but I'm sure he is looking down and loving it. A very special thanks to Sailors who helped me get here I have served with, junior and senior. Junior Sailors for doing great jobs that made me look good, and senior Sailors for guidance. Extra special thanks to ENC Tim Ridge (ret.) He's made a lot of Chiefs. Proud to say I'll be one he made. Another extra special thanks to personal friends BMCS/SS Rodney Wilmouth and EM1 Jerry Prillman. "3 Musketeers" we always believed all 4 1- 1 4 all!! right or wrong and we stuck to it! and have had some times! God Bless Everyone, and the USA and USN!!

After six years of active duty, and over fourteen years in the reserves, I am extremely grateful that this great Navy has bestowed upon me the honorary rank of Chief Petty Officer and I now strive to meet the obligations set before me as I enter into the Mess. I cannot begin to mention the many mentors, shipmates, relatives, and friends that have all played their parts in pushing me, instructing me, and encouraging me along the way. I hope that, perhaps, someday, they may see my message and understand the appreciation I have for their efforts. Now, as I begin the indoctrination process, I know that I will make every effort to meet the tasks set before me and hope that I am able to meet the expectations of the Chiefs that have went before me and established the time-honored traditions of the Goat Locker. To my fellow selectee�s, I congratulate you and encourage you to follow the traditions, instructions, and guidance of our new peers and fellow Chiefs.

Comments: Knock, Knock, Knock, Respectfully request permission to enter the mess. This is the ultimate highlight in my carrier to date. It has been my goal to achieve this level in my career. I thank God that I have reached this point and I owe it all to him. I would also like to thank a few significant others who have been a true example of a leader to during my time in the Navy. OSCS(SW) Puckett - As a second class who was clearly working his way quickly up the ladder you taught me that if I set my sights on what I wanted and went after it I could do anything. Your great mentourship helped me have great success from the time I was an E-1 until the time I left the Briscoe. It was great to hear from you and spend some time catching up. NCC(AW) Carvalho - You were the best chief that I could have come along early during my recruiting tour. You helped me achieve my goals that I had set for myself right out of recruiting school. I will never forget the day you and I stood nose to nose yelling at each other and then went for a walk to talk about things. You explained to me that I had more talent then most recruiters that you had worked with and as a hard charging second class that wanted to achieve so much I should be the first person in the office and the last person to leave the office. I took your advise and it was not long after wards that we became close friends and earned the up most respect for each other (call me anytime you need to fix a flat). I met all of my goals in the time frame I had set. Thank you. AMEC(AW) Ferris - WOW can you believe it. Thank you. Not only for your leadership, but also for your friendship. I am so thankful that we have stayed in contact. You were there when I was advanced to first class and although you have retired you are here now that I am a CPO Selectee. You also have been a significant part of helping me achieve my goals. You helped me stay focused and helped me learn how to deal with difficult situations (or people). Not only did you help me lead a recruiting station to the top, but you were also a person I could call on with any problem and kept me going during difficult times. Thanks for being a great example. I look forward to a lifetime friendship with you. There are many more that have been there in my 12 short years and I thank you all for everything you have done for me. To my wife Cassie and two wonderful children. Thank you for supporting me during the last seven years. I know that the hours have been long, the loss of the weekends, and the time apart have been tough, but it is because of the three of you that I strive to be successful and continue to move up. Cassie that you for pushing me even at times that I have questioned if it is worth the sacrifices. I am looking forward to many many more wonderful years. Congrats to all 2008 CPO Selectees May God bless all of you the way he has blessed me.

Comments: Members of the Chiefs Mess, I sit here in awe of being selected as a Chief Petty Officer. I've had many mile stones in my civilian career, but absolutely nothing can, or will compare with getting selected to Chief. The one thing I do know, is that I owe a life long debt to the following members of the Chiefs Mess for their constant support and guidance over the years: SKCM(SW) Stephen Clark HMCS(SW/FMF) Greg Lees HMCS(FMF) Terence Coletta HMCS(SW/AW/FMF/PJ) John Stewart MACS(AW) Scott McKendrick HMC(FMF) Mike Walters HMC(FMF) Tony Palumbo HMC(AW/FMF) Tracy Smith (Rest in peace) BMC(SW) Fred Garcia (Rest in peace) I had the incredible privilege of serving as Vice President of the Mess for my Battalion for a few years now. In 2005 we made BMC(SW) Fred Garcia our guest of honor for the dining in. To see his reaction, and his families reaction as I gave him an engraved 1860 Cutlass for his service was beyond words. It was my privilege to research the record of Chief Garcia who began his career in 1942. He retired in 1985 as a BMC. He then served continuously on permissive orders in the reserves until his death in 2006. All together Chief Garcia had over 63 years in uniform in both active and reserve duty on permissive orders. (Pretty Incredible) He was a fountain of knowledge, and my link to a very proud tradition of service both past and present. He taught me a great deal. I was given a set of anchors by Chief Garcia privately not long after the dining in. It will be those anchors that I will wear the day of my pinning. I will not let Chief Garcia down under any circumstances. I wish the best to my fellow selects, and look forward to serving as a Chief Petty Officer in the greatest Navy in the World. My sincere thanks to all who have helped get me there. Very Respectfully, HMC(Sel) (FMF) Edward J. Keenan 2nd Battalion, 25th Marines, FMF

Comments: Years ago this day was just a dream. Years ago my "sea-daddies" seen something in me that I didn't see. Years ago I never thought I'd have my own family. Today, this is no longer a dream. I have a wonderful family at home and a wonderful family in the Navy. Today I still dream to give back and be someone's "sea-daddy". Thanks to all the Sailors that stood there and held me up. Today, I promise to be there for those that need that same crutch. Selectees, CONGRATULATIONS! And please thank those that made this possible. We have to give back and continue forth with the torch. This is our new beginning.
