With chief season in full swing, I thought it appropriate to pen a few words to remind the mess what this time is really about. Chief season is a time of transition for chief-selects that pushes them to learn a new way of being. Their old way of being, that of a capable first-class petty officer, will not suffice in their new role. Their previous record of performance may have gotten them selected, but it will not necessarily make them successful chief petty officers.

Fix PCS in the Coast Guard
Anonrate once opined: “The riskiest time underway is watch relief. The off-going watchstander wants to leave, the oncoming is learning what’s going on, and both lose situational awareness while conducting the relief.” The riskiest time for the Coast Guard is during its permanent change of station cycle, which is tantamount to watch relief. With only one PCS cycle a year, every unit undergoes significant turnover at the same time.

More than Warfighting
Warfighting is having a moment, but it should not be the only topic garnering attention. To paraphrase John Paul Jones, “It is by no means enough that an officer of the Navy should be a capable [warfighter]. He must be that, of course, but also a great deal more.” In “More than a Warfighter”, Naval Academy history professor and Navy Captain B. J.
