 Happy birthday, Chiefs! On April 1st, our mess will celebrate 120 years of the United States Navy Chief Petty Officer. We're not only celebrating another year of Chiefs serving the Navy, we're celebrating everything it means to be a Chief. Our anchors are the symbol of a culture and a way of life. Since 1893, Chiefs have been charged with the responsibility of leading sailors to be the best in the world, ready to carry out our Navy's mission when the nation calls. We welcome that responsibility and lead with honor, courage, and commitment. As Chiefs, it's important to remember that we must be all in all the time, because being a Chief Petty Officer is not for the weak of heart, nor the lazy of mind and body. Happy birthday, shipmates. I truly appreciate your leadership and the hard work you do every day.
