Chief petty officers (CPO), CPO selectees, family members and Sailors of all ranks from Hampton Roads soaked up some late summer sunshine and fresh air during the 2013 Run with the Chiefs 5K at Naval Station (NAVSTA) Norfolk, Aug. 23. NAVSTA Norfolk Morale, Welfare and Recreation officials said more than 3,100 runners participated in its 9th annual 5K Fun Run. Among the participants were more than 100 USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) chiefs and selectees who found out that the morning was more than team-building and exercise.
“This was a great opportunity to meet and network with other chiefs and selectees from the area,” said USS Abraham Lincoln Command Master Chief (SW/SS) Gregg Weber. “This run is also meant to be fun and team-building – we did both.” Retired Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Duane R. Bushey, who served as MCPON from 1988 - 1992, spoke to the gathering. “Chief selectees, what you have discovered today is that being a chief stretches beyond your command or your ship,” he said. “What “CHIEFS RUN” CONTINUED next page

you will do as chiefs every day will affect the entire Navy. What you do affects all of us.” The message was not lost on Lincoln’s chief selectees. “This day showed me what chiefs can do together and we can accomplish together,” said Chief (select) Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Toby Shoemaker. Among the runners was NAVSTA Norfolk’s Command Master Chief, Tony Adams, who spoke on the significance of the event. “This event is a great opportunity to commit ourselves to a lifestyle of physical fitness and to set the example as leaders in fitness,” he said. “It is also a great way to build camaraderie and esprit de corps among ourselves, our leaders and our Sailors.” After the run, participants and spectators gathered for the “best guidon design” contest. The judges were NAVSTA Norfolk Commanding

Officer Capt. David A. Culler, retired MCPON Bushey, Navy Cyber Forces Force Master Chief (FORCM) Steven S. Giordano and Navy Region Mid-Atlantic Command Master Chief Dominick Torchia. The four winners of the guidon contest were presented with plaques. Selectees from Afloat Training Group Atlantic/Center for Surface Combat Systems/Destroyer Squadron Two won best overall, USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7) won most CPO heritage, selectees from Camp Lejeune won the MCPON favorite and Naval Special Warfare Group Two won best original design. Adams told the CPO selectees that putting on anchors is just the beginning. “Chief petty officers have to earn their anchors every day,” he said. “Anchor up, shipmates. Hooyah!” Editor’s Note: The original stories were written by Chief Mass Communication Specialist Aaron Strickland, USS Abraham Lincoln Public Affairs and MC2 Molly Greendeer, Naval Station Norfolk Public Affairs.

No matter where I get stranded, there is always family around wherever MWR is. Thank you to the loving, supporting staff at Naval Station Norfolk!” ~IT3 Kenneth Ridge, USS Anzio
