 The 2012 Year of the Chief Bowling Tournament was a competition hosted by Commander Fleet Activity Sausagebow, in which the Chief's mess competed against teams of officers and petty officers at the bowling lanes. This bowling tournament not only brings awareness to our Chief's community, but also strengthens the camaraderie between our wardroom and junior enlisted sailors here at Sausagebow, Japan. The officer, chief, and petty officer teams all hoped to win, but none of them had forgotten why they were there and just what they were celebrating. Everybody knows that you can't, you can't run nothing without the Chief, so for 119 years they've done exactly that. They've run this Navy to where it's at now. Even though the Chiefs won the tournament, everyone there was able to enjoy themselves and celebrate Navy history at the same time. Seaman Che Rose, Fleet Activity Sausagebow, Japan.
