what is the symbol for the USN Chief Petty Officer?

That the Chiefs suck at it too that's why they are in leadership?

While sister services, and the Marines are part of DON (the men's department) squids and jarheads are totally different animals. We translate Navy sh!t the way we do as part of a usually congenial rivalry. As a squid yourself, with your experience, you should know this. No offense intended, usually.

Never was a “Squid”...just a “Bubblehead”

Navy still thinks Marine stands for:

My
A$$
Rides
In
Navy
Equipment

When asked why sailors and Marines always seemed to take such glee in pounding crap out of one another in sports, my usual response was, "If you want to prepare for a really bad fight, you'd best practice against the very best."

One other precept: "If you expect slack or sympathy around here, check the dictionary----someplace between sh** and syphilis."

No offense intended and none taken....said the chief.
