190401-N-IY469-011 – HMCM John Mooers expresses his perspective of being a chief to the NMCP CPOs during a cake cutting ceremony on Apr. 1. “It is the most difficult, challenging, frustrating and ultimately rewarding career in the Navy to be a chief petty officer,” Mooers said. “More than ever we are challenged to go beyond the word of written assignment; to be social worker and babysitter, trainer, mentor, older brother and in some cases grandfather, but what do we do? We do what we have to do and here in this cradle of Navy medicine, here it is perhaps the most difficult place to chief. In the fleet, a chief may deal with one maybe two officers, 25 to 30 Sailors in their division. In FMF they have a higher ratio of senior enlisted to Sailors out there. IT shops, one chief for 25 people. But here, our chiefs somehow manage to get the mission done despite having to look after, mentor and train, on average, about 75 to 100 Sailors each.”
