8. FORCE MASTER CHIEF/CPO SELECTEE RUN

I would like to thank all the participants that supported the Annual BUMED Force Master Chief run. We had over 200 Navy Chief Petty Officers and Chief Selects participate this year. The pride and enthusiasm we take in wearing the Anchors was evident throughout the day. I am already looking forward to next year’s event.
