Master Chief

Short for Master Chief Petty Officer. The Master Chief Petty Officer is the ninth, and highest, enlisted rank in the U.S. Navy, just above Senior Chief Petty Officer, and is a non-commissioned officer. They are referred to as Master Chief in most circumstances.

Advancement to Master Chief Petty Officer is similar to that of Chief Petty Officer and Senior Chief Petty Officer. It carries requirements of time in service, superior evaluation scores, specialty examinations, and peer review. A Senior Chief Petty Officer can only advance if the existing master chiefs approve.

A Master Chief Petty Officer is purely administrative and is usually tied closely with the Commanding Officer, except possibly when the command is very large (e.g. an aircraft carrier). Their uniform reflects this administrative duty; becoming similar to that of an officer, albeit with different insignia than an officer.

Senior Chief Cummings

A senior enlisted TACAMITE veteran of the United States Navy. A silver-tongued devil that has mastered the use of the English language. His quips are usually directed towards others who may be arrogant, stupid or careless enough to attempt to challenge the TACAMO Jedi of Jargon to a verbal war of words. Warning: Do not challenge him, you will lose. Although usually unprovoked, he sometimes enjoys luring Junior Officers and Chief Petty Officer selectees into a well placed linguistic trap.
