[[File:e7n.png|right]]A Chief Petty Officer or [[E-7]] is a senior enlisted person who is not only very experienced in their specialty, but has achieved a command responsibility, becoming the right-hand of the supervising officer. A chief petty officer ''is'' referred to by their rank, but also by their rate. So a [[Steward]] who earned their rocker would be called "Chief," but also "Chief Steward."
'''Chief Petty Officer''' (''abbrev'': '''CPO''') is an [[enlisted]] paygrade within the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]], the [[Grayson Space Navy]], and the [[Republic of Haven Navy]].  It holds the equivalent military paygrade of [[E-7]] within {{trmn}} and is not only very experienced in their specialty, but has achieved a command responsibility, becoming the right-hand of the supervising officer. A chief petty officer ''is'' referred to by their rank, but also by their rate. So a [[Steward]] who earned their rocker would be called "[[Forms_of_Address#Chief|Chief]]," but also "[[Forms_of_Address#Chief_Steward|Chief Steward]]."

In peacetime, a Chief Petty Officer would have served at least eleven years, with 36 months [[Time in grade | Time in Grade]]. However, since there are a limited number of vacancies, there is a competitive test to determine who can be promoted, ''and'' they need to be approved before the Chief Petty Officer Promotion Board.  The [[Grayson Space Navy]] uniform is blue with silver stripes. The [[Royal Manticoran Navy]] is black and the color of the stripes change depending on the specialty of the spacer.<ref name="Military.com">[http://www.military.com/navy/enlisted-rates.html (military.com)]</ref>

Requirements for promotion to E-7 Chief Petty Officer are delineated in [[PD-SC-1004 Rank and Promotion Policy]]


If the spacer has completed their [[Enlisted Academy | Advanced Naval Non-Commissioned Officer Exam]], and served as an [[Petty Officer 1st Class]] for fifteen months [[Time in grade | Time in Grade]], they are promoted to this rank. If someone is appointed to the position of Ship's [[Bosun]], they are brevetted to this rank. It is the highest rank a ship's captain can appoint a spacer to.<ref name="TRMN">[http://www.trmn.org/portal/index.php/documents/finish/4-general/6-rmnm-001-membership-handbook] ([[Membership Handbook]])</ref>
