"He's not listed as MCPON. He gave his rank as MACM. Both are E-9. There are several othe E-9 master chief designations. MACM is going to be one per ship."

In the interest of being totally correct, MCPON is an E-10. See http://www.nps.navy.mil/Code22/milrank.htm

Also, there is NOT one MACM per ship. Only large ships would have an Master At Arms that senior.

[Again, no, I have not served a tour aboard a ship, but I DO know how to do some pajama research.]

Actually, not only large ships would have them - I was on a ship in the late 80s, early 90s, that had two Senior Chief Petty Officers, plus a Master Chief... We were a small ship - well less than 100 guys.
