 The 2013 Sailors of the Year were meritoriously advanced to Chief Petty Officer during a ceremony at the Navy Memorial May 22nd. At the ceremony, McPawn Mike Stevens said successful leaders treat their sailors with dignity and respect. Chief Matib Johnson was selected for US Fleet Forces Sea Sailor of the Year. In order to be a leader, you have to be able to be approachable. People have to want to respect you. They have to want to be like you. And it has to be believable. They have to believe that I'm loyal to them and they have to trust me. And without those three things, I just don't think that any chief, any leader is going to be successful. Today is my duty. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Ian Cotter.
