MCPON Visit - Blogged by N8

This week we received a very special visit from the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy. He is the highest ranking enlisted person in the U.S. Navy, so it was really special to have him visit us.



The day before he came our Command Chaplain told us that he would be visiting the Wounded Warrior Ministry Center. Our Command Chaplain normally does the briefs for our Distinguished Visitors visits, but the MCPON showed up about an hour early and he was stuck in a meeting, so I was told that I would be doing the briefing. Talk about nerve racking! He was really impressed with the work that we are doing here. So impressed, in fact, that he gave me his coin! It's probably the coolest coin in my collection.



He also came with some other high-ranking Master Chiefs from the area. Myself and the other RP were able to get a group photo with all of them. It was great!

  1. Wow, you've met just about everyone except Obama and Madonna! Hey, that rhymes :)

    I heard "Barbara Ann" on the way to work this morning and smiled all the way in, picturing you bee-bopping away in your highchair. Bah bah bah, bah bah bah...
