 Say hello to Okinawa's newest chief petty officers. Going into the CPO ranks, going into the chief's mess, it's one of the greatest things and accomplishments that we could get and one of the biggest honors that we can receive. For this year's Phase II course, the Okinawa chief's mess decided to try something new. Last year we didn't have the influx of sailors from different communities coming together to actually show our sailors who've never been on a ship. Come together as one and show them that the chief's mess still works regardless of your uniform color and regardless of who you serve with. It was an awesome experience and I think these chief's selects are actually going to be better for it in the long run. Senior Chief Redden left Okinawa's new chiefs with this advice. I want to say congratulations to them. This is only the beginning of being the United States Navy Chief Paid Officer. Remember to rely upon the mess because we will never let them fail.
