Pete you must bring back the full and traditional most prestigious ceremony in all of the branches. the right way not this P---y ceremony you are doing now.
that is CHIEF PETTY OFFCER INITIATION the right way. it usually goes on for 6 weeks it has serval meanings. one goal is tearing the selectees down and them bring them back up to a quality leader in the 6 weeks and ending with the initiation and the pining on of the Anchors usually by loved ones. A NEW LEADER HAS BE BORN.
the ceremony is so honored that it is not usual for E7's from other branches get involved I had had a USAF E7 in my class.
oh, and knock off the Senior/ Master chief selections base skin color and gender it is tearing the ranks apart
