The MCPON and Prized Charge Books

I am posting greetings on behalf of DH CPO Select, who is VERY busy (and getting very skinny) during his induction to Chief Petty Officer. September 16 is the pinning ceremony and how we wish we could be there. He sends his best and thanks for the good thoughts (and goodies)!

I have some totally awesome pictures to share of DH and his CPO Select roommate Tim presenting their charge books to the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON), Joe Campa Jr., who is the senior enlisted person in the Navy. What is a charge book? As far as I know, it has words of wisdom, advice, and congratulations from other chiefs. Note the fancy smancy wooden box within which the charge book is kept.

You've got a lot going on now, DH CPO Select; know that we are back here supporting you and cheering you on!

We love and miss you just seeing the pictures that Carol is posting on this site has helped us know you are ok even if you are getting skinny. Wish I could send you some of our pounds to loose for us. We both are very proud of you and want you to know we are supporting you even from so far.
