What are a Master Chief Petty Officer's Responsibilities?
The Master Chief Petty Officer is the ninth and highest enlisted rank in the US Coast Guard and is addressed as "Master Chief". Master Chiefs are considered to be the most qualified and most capable enlisted personnel in his or her specialty, both in technical skill and leadership. Further advancement is highly competitive, so the "Master Chief" will typically participate in the Command Master Chief Petty Officer Program.
As with other non-commissioned ranks, the "Master Chief" holds a specialised rating in his or her technical specialty. An example is Master Chief Fire Controlman (FNCM). Some smaller vessels and Coast Guard stations may be staffed entirely by enlisted personnel and commanded by a Master Chief.
Master Chiefs may hold non-designated command positions at unit and command level and wear a silver, two-star command identification badge. Some Master Chiefs hold commandant-designated command positions, and these are indicated by a gold, two-star command identification badge.
