CAMP LEMONNIER, Djibouti (Sept. 28, 2024) - Every spring, a board of the U.S. Navy’s most senior enlisted leaders select the Navy’s next generation of chief petty officers. After the board concludes, the Sailors are notified of their selection for chief by their leadership and for the next six weeks, the chief selects are immersed in a time-honored Navy tradition known as Chief Petty Officer Initiation (CPOI).
