I'm pretty familiar with the titles in other services, but the abbreviations not so much.

What about Master Baitor? My grandfather was in the CG and said that was his title.Thanks LCDR, but as long as "Chief" is in the title, i don't get too wound up about it, especially coming from civilians and land lubbers.
Just don't call me "Lieutenant"...

My dad retired Command Master Chief back in 1997. What's the difference? For some reason, I want to guess it's the size and type of squadron. He was deployable anti-submarine helicopters.
Two stories:
1) I'd ask him directly, but he's a d!ck. Oddly enough, I ran into a few old high school buddies years ago who were under his command. They thought he was the best guy on the planet. I swear we were talking about a different man.
2) He reached out and got me an appointment to Annapolis. I declined it. We were never the same after that.

People have to live their own life. Brad seems like one of the most likable guys on here. His dad is missing out on a helluva lot IMO.

That was a fun read. Family dynamics can be a challenge at times. To answer your question...
The Command Master Chief is the MC who works directly for the CO as the top enlisted adviser. At a larger command, you might have multiple MCs who oversee the technical stuff (machinery tech, electronics, etc), but the CMC is the guy who deals with many of the personnel issues before they reach the CO's office.

I'm actually impressed Law had a clue about any military rank! But I couldn't stand by quietly as he disrespected a MASTER Chief!

That's a really nice thing to say MJM, thanks. Law was just busting my balls though, I would have been more surprised if somebody didnt say that.
As for the academy, I turned it down specifically because of my dad. He missed the birth of all 3 of his children. He missed the death of one of his children. He missed the graduation of the other two. Gone six months out of the year. When he was on shore duty, he was at work before I ever woke up. Came home so grumpy and exhausted. I dont know if all Navy lives are like that, but that's how mine was and knew that I didnt want that life. I have the most absolute respect and admiration for our military men and women, and especially their families. During the Ole Miss game last year, when they brought that military dad out to greet his family.... I cried like a damn b!tch.
Anyway, regarding my current relationship with my dad, there is actually one thing that we still talk about a few times a year: Gator Football. We even usually go to one game every year together. It's honestly the only time I see him.
