under the paragraph entitled career information it says an important job of a chief petty officer is to provide junior personnel with accurate information about the advantages and the development of a navy career a good chief can on one hand train and correct a jo while on the other hand carry out the jo s orders a jo who respects his leading chief petty officer can form very effective leadership team while a jo who doesn t respect his lcpo can find the chief dutifully carrying out the jo s orders and getting reamed by the dept head xo or co when they find the jo s division doing something that they should not be doing i had a jo who was on a tremendous head trip the men spent a good deal of time studying the jo s rear end as he showed his men how it was done consequently the jo ran about getting credit for every repair in the division while the division morale plummeted twice i observed the electrician jo beat out the electronic jo in evaluations and one evening i cornered my jo outside his stateroom and pointed out to him that if he wanted to beat the electrician jo he would need to prove his leadership not his technical acumen the men needed to repair the gear and be rewarded for their success which would reflect on the jo for being a good leader that deployment we ensured the techs received every opportunity for training in their rate and insisted they not only have their gear up but make it a point to render assitance to other ships in the arg at deployment s end i had written every man up for either a navy commendation letter navy achievement medal or navy commendation medal which the men had earned we had more awards for our techs per capita than any division on the ship and the electronics jo was ranked higher than the electrical jo who was still showing everyone what a great electrician he was reply ridx on february 8 2015 at 19 37 said eric i appreciate this comment and i think your anecdote amply demonstrates how not to interact with your division that said ensigns don t need me to remind them to ask the chief as their accession sources have told them that thousands of times already to the point that the chief is built up into a mythical figure of inhuman capability maturity and work ethic to assert that the chief will be the best source of truth in the division is simply to promise too much what if the chief is a human being with realistic flaws and knowledge gaps what if the chief is just a weak sailor and should never have made chief are you willing to promise that none of these have slipped through the cracks there are in fact some non zero number of bad chiefs out there and every one of them has a divo who was promised a wise sage i want the jos out there to have the independence willpower and yes the spine to make their own assessments as to whom is the best source of truth universal and automatic deference to the chief is not the answer reply eric olsen on february 6 2015 at 23 29 said sorry i left out the sentence just before that reference i made on pg 5 1 of the cpo rate training manual which says it also discusses your responsibility in training junior officers to conduct navy business and again on page 5 22 under training where it says you as a chief petty officer will be responsible for planning and directing personnel training and training junior officers within your division reply doc kiernan on october 8 2015 at 00 29 said one thing i see more and more are brand new jo s particularly female ones talking and flirting with enlisted men who are usually somewhere in the e 3 to e 5 range i see this a lot in the nurse corps and it is a running joke that they are fresh out of college and still in a party stage and fill in the rest as you see fit this is extremely frustrating to see and i want to grab both the jo and the enlisted by the necks so a word to jo s you might be junior and new to the navy and naive but the time to act like an officer is now or else you will lose any and all respect by those around you you re not in college anymore reply akash shetty on april 12 2017 at 14 10 said hello my name is akash shetty and since the summer of 2016 after receiving my masters in family and child sciences i ve been getting myself prepared to be a navy officer at the start i was 217lbs but since then i have dropped more than fifty pounds and have handed over all documents required which gives an insight into how determined i want this i was living in el paso but a couple months ago i moved to mckinney tx i have been in contact with a navy senior chief who has been giving me advice for over a month i was studying for the oar and my senior chief advised i study from officer candidate tests for dummies i know that the subjects covered are math reading and mechanical comprehension so i studied those sections specifically when i took my practice test before the actual test i scored very favorably however on my first attempt at the real one i didn t pass what i found out was that the actual exam was way different than what i was preparing for and what i was told would be on by my senior chief for instance in the reading section it was all passages that asked what can be inferred from it the math was alright but the mechanical comprehension section really threw me off when i was preparing for it both the senior chief and my textbook told me it would cover some light physics and mechanical terminology in fact there was a whole chapter dedicated to the mechanical comprehension section however on the exam it asked questions dealing with electricity electrical parts water velocity etc my second attempt will be after may 8th and i just want to know if someone can give me advice on how i can be better prepared for it until then are there any books or resources that helped more thank you reply bob razen on june 24 2020 at 11 45 said i ve referred to this site for years now thank you for writing and maintaining it it is very helpful i share it with other managers and supervisors who use the lessons thanks reply anonymous on august 14 2022 at 12 06 said reply rose on february 27 2025 at 11 51 said greeat post reply leave a
