 Welcome to a new week of the rundown. On this episode, more chiefs are heading to sea. Pupers Online is being updated. CNP welcomes the Royal Australian Navy and then messes to sailors from Secretary of the Navy. The Navy announced a new policy this past week that aims to improve fleet manning and warfighting readiness. The Navy anticipates that more than 1,100 senior enlisted supervisors could be returning to sea to fill critical leadership billets in the next several months. The policy change will place a greater emphasis on career management for chief petty officers. Assignments for enlisted leaders, including those selected for chief petty officer, will be reviewed to maximize fleet manning readiness. CNP said that chiefs are the Navy's critical leadership element and it is essential that we have our deck plate leaders, including newly selected chiefs, where it counts.
