 As part of his zeroing in on excellence initiative, Micpon Mike Stevens recently discussed the CPO 365 program and the importance it holds for developing sailors into not just good leaders, but great leaders. We have to look at CPO 365 as a not a start and not a stop process of training. CPO 365 is one of many leadership training programs that we have in place that specifically start when you become a third class petty officer and never end. They end when you retire. And so CPO 365 plays a vital role and an important role in that continuum of learning and developing and becoming a more effective leader. Because I'm not so much interested in good leaders. I'm far more interested in great leaders. And to develop great leaders, we must have a training process that is ongoing through an entire sailors career. He added that chiefs throughout the fleet agreed that the CPO 365 program will give first class petty officers the training they need to be successful and effective chief petty officers. Working with the fleet, the chief petty officers throughout the fleet, we all believed that it was important to develop a program that best positions and allows for all first class petty officers to have the opportunity to be successful. So we wanted to create a process that set the conditions for every first class petty officer to be successful, to be an effective chief, and we wanted to remove any roadblocks that would interfere with that opportunity for success and add in various things that would greater afford first class petty officers the opportunity to be successful as chief petty officers.
