Hi, my name is Ray Flanagan, a retired Chief, Aviation Electronics Technician, currently residing in Pensacola, Florida.

While I was on active duty, I had always wished there was something like a Master CPO Roster, a place I could find out where old shipmates went, or where they are currently stationed, or residing.  I know this is a HUGE undertaking, but, since I'm retired, I now have that time to myself.  I would like to develop a CPO roster, of every person who has ever worn a Chiefs anchor.

CPO College Scholarship Information

An Executive order issued by President Benjamin Harrision dated 25 February 1893 and issued as General order No. 409 of 25 February 1893 gave a pay scale for Navy enlisted men.  It was divided into rates and listed Chief Petty Officers. Both the executive and Circular No. 1 listed Chief Petty Officers as a distinct rate for the first time and both were to take effect on 01 April 1893.  It appears that this is the date on which the Chief Petty Officer rate actually was established.
