Anchor Up, Chiefs! Reset the Mess

There's still time to get this done. Maintain steady strain on all lines.

"The tone of the ship, the tone of the service itself must come more directly from the Chief Petty Officers than from any other group of people in the Navy."
The Blue Jacket's Manual - 1918

"Chief Petty Officers are first and foremost desk plate leaders charged with developing Sailors and enforcing standards."
MCPON Joe Campa

"When a Chiefs' Mess is hitting on all cylinders, there is no better command, and when a Chiefs' Mess is not working well, there is nothing worse."
Admiral Mike Mullen

Anchor Up, Chiefs! Reset the Mess

As MCPON Rick West said when he assumed 'the office'
- "Anchor up, Chiefs - HOOYAH !"

MCPON is done..and I am not happy about it !

"Early in his tour, it was very clear that his intent was to reset the chief's mess and return its members to the role of deckplate leadership. Watching that happen aboard our ships and shore stations has made our Navy stronger and inspired our Sailors. MCPON Campa's energy and passionate commitment to our Sailors and their families is infectious, and it has swept across our entire navy. He is a Sailor's MCPON, a MCPON who changed the Navy based on his love of leading Sailors."

Admiral Gary Roughead, Chief of Naval Operations

The departure will make Campa, at two years and five months in office, the shortest-serving MCPON in the 41-year history of the job. What's up with that ??
