Posted by Tony,

Something I do want to mention. In years past, scuttlebutt was always welcome. Someone would come on, post their rumor and it would either be discussed or laid to rest as untrue. That is how I like this forum to run. Just like you are talking with your shipmates about the latest rumors, it's just discussed. Lately on this forum, when someone brings some scuttlebutt, another member will act like you are not supposed to post scuttlebutt by either putting them down or Pming them or whatever. T

I'm in Japan now. My captain just called me in the middle of the night and said there is no reason to call you unless you made chief. I got the S.

I got the S! After 5 tries, I finally made the cut. Thanks to everyone here who has shared conversations, support, and advice.

I think I'd better set up the first aid station early this year!

It may be more of an issue of my server being at capacity. No worries...

Well, I'm definitely confused. I thought the old-timers knew this and that it was the younger ones who fell for it. This has been brought up for many years on this forum. There is actually an office in NPC that releases the results of which has been mentioned eons ago.  And as I said, eons ago, I got in an argument with said office. I don't think things have changed that  much as far as who would be in the know and whatnot.

I think that the old timers know that we are awaiting the message to come out. Think everyone is just getting in the mood of the season and continuing conversations. Just having fun with it

So true! When I got back to the fleet I was told I needed to remember my place as a first class and stop being so “friendly” to junior sailors. I asked how treating junior sailors like grown adults and showing respect for their input on subject was a bad thing. Back at the “Ron” we could talked from the CO down to the most junior sailor as a person and turn Navy if the right people came around but always showing respect to seniors and subordinate alike. I never felt disrespected by my fellow brothers in arms even when we had issues to address and “BIGBOY RULES” went in effect. Still remember MasterChief Lee giving me that speech and he expected us to solve our problems like grown men and unless he needed to get involved he left it to us as First Class Petty Officers since we ran the Detatchments.

I miss Lees and Hebert...CMC H was down this way last year on a tour, good seeing him!

It’s great to wake up to all these discussions. I had one of my Chiefs bring it up in Quarters that the Chiefs will be busy starting next week and that I might be too*facepalm* No added pressure, right? And two other Chiefs bring up, you know what next week is right? If I couldn’t stop thinking about it before. Even better the comments to enjoy your family time because you never know. 😑

      Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy James Honea Announces Retirement

      Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) James Honea will retire from the United States Navy on September 12, 2025, after 38 years of faithful service to our nation. “It has been a profound privilege and honor to serve as your MCPON,” said Honea. “I will carry with me the countless memories of meeting Sailors across the Fleet, hearing about your remarkable achievements, as well as the level of trust you placed in me to advocate for you and your families. During my tenure it has been my mission to remove barriers and improve the quality of life for you and your family.” MCPON Honea assumed the role as the 16th MCPON on September 8, 2022. Throughout his tenure, he championed efforts to make Sailors stronger, smarter, and better valued—both through direct engagement with Sailors and their families, and through strategic advocacy on Capitol Hill. His collaborative work with Congress and Department of Defense policy makers contributed to significant legislative achievements and quality of life impacts, including a historic 15 percent pay increase for junior enlisted ranks (E-1 to E-4), as well as improvements in unaccompanied housing, medical care, spouse employment, and childcare services. Within the Navy, MCPON Honea drove initiatives to enhance enlisted leadership development, naval education, and performance evaluations—highlighted by the recent update to the Chief Petty Officer evaluation system earlier this year. “Since 1775, the United States Navy has been operating forward to defend our nation and defeat those who challenge our freedom. Every one of you embody the fighting spirit, honoring the legacy of those who came before you. As I embark on the next chapter of my life, I will forever cherish the impact you’ve had on me and look forward to crossing paths with you again in the Fleet.”

      Will trump Really ‘Drain the Swamp’?

      Remember that 8 years ago trump campaigned on a promise to "Drain the Swamp." With his own self interests, it's pretty obvious that trump is the swamp... Americans heard then President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign promise to “drain the swamp” in order to free Washington, D.C., from its influence peddlers and special interests. Prime example: Asking Qatar, & then getting a Boeing "royal jet" as his temp "presidential jet" that will be given to his "presidential library" when he is no longer president. There is more... Will trump Really ‘Drain the Swamp’?

      CNIC Hosts Inaugural Senior Enlisted Training Symposium, Emphasizes Unwavering Ownership and Warfighting Ethos

      NAVAL STATION NORFOLK, Va. (July 23, 2025) — In a pivotal step to strengthen the Navy’s strategic shore infrastructure and enhance warfighting readiness, Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) hosted its first-ever Senior Enlisted Training Symposium, this week at Naval Station Norfolk, to bring Navy leaders and installation professionals from across the Shore Enterprise to discuss ownership, warfighting and readiness. Vice Adm. Scott Gray, Commander, Navy Installations Command, and Force Master Chief Andre Brown, CNIC’s senior enlisted leader, were key participants, emphasizing the command's commitment to integrating the invaluable perspectives of senior enlisted leaders into its strategic planning, and warfighting mission. “Our installations are not just physical locations; they are the strategic launchpads for our Fleet, foundational to warfighting readiness,” said Vice Adm. Gray. “By aligning our base operations with Fleet priorities and empowering our leaders on the ground, we ensure the Navy remains agile, resilient, and prepared to meet any challenge, anywhere in the world.” The symposium served as a direct demonstration of CNIC’s ownership and proactive approach to managing the Navy’s global Shore Enterprise. Discussions centered on improving mission support, adapting infrastructure and services to meet the needs of a dynamic security environment, enhancing quality of life for Sailors and their families, and ensuring installations evolve to meet current and future Fleet requirements. “Investing in quality of service is critical to ensuring a stronger, more resilient and effective Navy. Our business is the Fleet, Fighter, and Family – and none of that happens without taking care of our people,” said Force Master Chief Brown. “This symposium provided a vital platform for our senior enlisted leaders to see challenges, collaborate on solutions, and share best practices directly with leadership, ensuring their voices drive tangible improvements across our installations.” By fostering direct collaboration between installation leaders and senior enlisted advisors, the symposium strengthened the Navy’s ability to deliver results. It underscored CNIC’s unwavering commitment to continuously improving the infrastructure and support systems that directly enable the Fleet to operate forward and win. Commander, Navy Installations Command is responsible for worldwide U.S. Navy Shore installation management, designing and developing integrated solutions for sustainment and development of Navy shore infrastructure as well as quality of life programs. CNIC oversees 10 Navy regions, 70 installations, and more than 43,000 employees who are focused on warfighting and manning, training and equipping the Shore to fight and win. Navy installations are warfighting platforms essential to every Fleet operation.
