JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. –
Forty-nine Sailors from Joint Base Charleston were selected for promotion to the rank of chief petty officer.
As chief petty officers, more will be expected and demanded of these exceptional Sailors. Only in the U.S. Navy does promotion to the rank of E-7, or chief petty officer, carry with it the spoken and unspoken responsibilities expected of these new leaders. It is an entry into a naval fellowship of chiefs, one which requires and demands a responsibility to take care of their Shipmates and to be a leader and mentor to all they serve with.
Congratulations to the following men and women who have been selected entrance into the Chief's Mess.
