FORCE MASTER CHIEF’S CORNER
August 25, 2008
(This is from the FORCM’s July/Aug Newsletter, I just recieved it I want to thank FORCM for keeping Corpsman.com in the loop.)
The dog days of summer are here and can you believe in another couple of weeks many of your
children will be returning to schools and colleges. I’m sure some of you can’t wait for the
kids to get back to school and others can’t believe the summer break is almost over. I hope that
you took some much needed leave to spend with your families.
Please be safe in your travels. Speaking of being safe, recently MCPON Campa sent out an email
titled “Safety and Leadership” to all Master Chiefs Navywide and asked that we engage our sailors NOW regarding motorcycle safety. He went on to say that “we are losing entirely too many sailors to Motorcycle accidents, especially the sport bikes.”
Why?
Many of the accidents involving motorcycles sailors are being careless or have not been properly trained to operate or ride the bike. I ask that if you do ride a motorcycle and have attended the proper safety classes, ride safely obeying all rules and regulations of the road.
In other words obey safe practices (helmets, clothing, etc), situational awareness and caution on the roads. If you are thinking of purchasing a motorcycle or have not attended a safety class, I ask that you talk to your LPO or LCPO about attending a safety course as soon as possible before you purchase that bike or take your next ride.
I would like to congratulate a group of deckplate leaders on their selection to Chief Petty Officers. What a great accomplishment for you and your families. For those who’s names that didn’t appear on the selection board list this time around, please don’t give up. Your mentors and the career development boards are wonderful Navy tools to ensure you’re on the right track for the next selection board.
Remember you can’t get your record looked at if you’re not board eligible.
Start studying NOW!
The Surgeon General (SG) and I returned several weeks ago from our trip to California, Hawaii, Guam, Okinawa and Yokosuka. Thanks to everyone who made this a great trip! Lots of thought provoking questions from the sailors for both the SG and I. A brave HM3 wanted to know the SG’s definition of leadership and another HM3 wanted to know exactly what he did for her.
You’ve got to love our young Sailors!

1. FY-10 ENLISTED SELECTION BOARDS
The FY-10 E8/E9 Enlisted Selection Boards for Navy Reserve personnel will convene on 2 Mar 09. The FY-10 E9 and E8 Selection Boards for Active Duty personnel will convene 30 Mar 09 and 20 Apr 09 respectively. For more information please review the attached NAVADMIN 214/08.
2. MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
The popularity of motorcycles is rising. Some ride motorcycles because of the increases in the price of gasoline. Some ride because they enjoy a sense of freedom. Some ride because they are under the mistaken impression that motorcycles, sport bikes in particular, are easy to operate and maneuver. Whatever the motivation, if you choose to ride a motorcycle, you must realize that there is little protection between you and what you hit.
Sport Bike accidents are rising and our men and women are dying on our highways because in many cases they are being careless or have not been properly trained. Since October we have lost 21 Sailors in motorcycle accidents. In all of last year we lost 18 Sailors. We have safety courses and attendance is mandatory, but I need you to engage your Sailors now. It is imperative that you stress the importance to all riders to take a motorcycle safety course. Stay on them and consistently remind them of safe practices, situational awareness and caution on the roads.
