Second that, but his age would be 247, as that is the age of the US Navy, and er know he has served proudly there.

I want to go on record. My birthday is 15 October three days after the "Official" Birthday of the USN.
As for the year; it's none of your business. Let's just say that I am old enough to drink and drive a car legally ; that's what is important.
HAPPY NEW YEAR my friends. Here's hoping 2023 will be better than 2022 . . . but I doubt it.

Speaking of Chiefs 
REAL CHIEFS:
1. think Ensigns should be seen and not heard and never ever be allowed to read books on leadership.
2. are the only people who can make the salutation "Ensign" sound like a four letter word.
3. have CPO Association Cards from their last five commands.
4. don't remember life before they were a Chief.
5.Wedding Proposal: "There will be a wedding at 1000 hours on 29 October, be there in whites with your gear packed because you will be a prime participant."
6. think that the easiest day at sea is tougher than the worst day on shore duty.
7. believe that in the Navy every day is a holiday, every meal is a feast, every payday is a lottery and every muster is a family reunion.
8. will always say, "Let me do it for you, Sir," and then promptly assign someone to do it.
9. get tears in their eyes when the "Chief" dies in the movie "Operation Pacific."
10. don't like "Certified Navy Twill" (CNT's). "Wash khaki" is the ONLY thing out of which to make a uniform.
11.can find their way to the CPO Club while blindfolded on fifteen different Navy bases.
12.only own ink pens that have "Property U.S. Government" printed on them.
13. think that "sensitivity" is a control knob on a radar or sonar console and that's all it is.
14. favorite quote is from the movie Ben Hur, "We keep you alive to serve this ship."
15. KNOW excessive modesty is our only fault.
16. always say their last ship was their best ship.
17. are proudest when one of their former strikers makes Chief.
18. idea of heaven: Three good PO1's and a Division Officer who does what he is told.
20. take eighteen year-old idiots and hammer them into Sailors.
21. can never fathom why a Chief would even consider accepting a commission.
22. are always right and WE know it. In the impossible hypothesis that a subordinate may be right, the former still applies.
23. agreed with John Wayne when he said, "Life is tough! But it's tougher when you're stupid!"
24. KNOW "Hail to the Chief" was originally intended for CPOs
25. are the Navy.
