| USN Chief Initiation Abolished It's causing quite a stir in one of my Facebook groups: U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer initiation ill-advisedly abolished | Washington Times Communities "FOREST HILL, NC, January 15, 2013 — The time honored rite of the U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer (CPO) initiation process has been eliminated. Political correctness has won out over more than 100 years of having gotten it right in the Chief’s Mess."

As a retired CPO, I cringed when I read the new guidance. Soon, it will be done as it is in the Wardroom or (gulp) in the Air Force...a dining out and a certificate for dessert. | |

I guess if they were centered around the gay lifestyle they'd be acceptable.

| I assume when they talk about the CPO initiation process they're talking about the hazing, or is there more to the process than just the hazing? |
