How do you address a petty officer?
The Navy (and Coast Guard) are different from other services. We have a Rate (similar to Rank in other branches) and a Rating (similar to MOS). Your Rate is your pay-grade, E-1 is a Seaman Recruit, E-6 is a Petty Officer 1st Class, etc... Your Rating is your job, ET is an Electronics Technician, and FT is a Fire Control Technician, for example. Specific to your question: there are two broad classes of Petty Officers, non-commisioned officers and senior non-commisioned officers. E-4 (Petty Officer 3rd Class), E-5 (2nd Class), and E-6 (1st Class) are non-commissioned officers and you can formally address them in three ways: # Simply as Petty Officer, # An abbreviated form of address such as PO3 (for 3rd Class) or PO1 (for 1st Class), # By combining the Petty Officers Rate and Rating into a single form of address; for example a Machinists Mate who is an Petty Officer 3rd Class could be addressed as MM3, or a Boatswains Mate who is a Petty Officer 1st Class could be addressed at BM1. If you know a Petty Officers last name, you can add it to the greeting as well, i.e., Petty Officer Smith, or MM3 Smith. Addressing a Chief Petty Officer is easier. A E-7 is a Chief Petty Officer, a E-8 is a Senior Chief Petty Officer, and a E-9 is a Master Chief Petty Officer. In practice you would refer to them as Chief, Senior Chief, and Master Chief, respectively. Like the more junior Petty Officers, you can combine a Chief's address with the last name, i.e. Chief Smith, or Master Chief Smith.

Who Was the First Navy Chief and in what year was he made chief?
As per official US Navy documents, the answer is that no "first chief petty officer" exists. Nearly all personnel rated as petty officers first class since at least 1885 were automatically promoted to chief petty officer in 1893. These promotions occurred simultaneously, making the first chief petty officer impossible to determine.
What is CPO1?
Chief Petty Officer 1st Class or CPO1 is the most senior Naval non-commissioned member (NCM) rank of the Canadian Forces. Its Army and Air Force equivalent is Chief Warrant Officer (CWO). It is immediately senior to the rank of Chief Petty Officer 2nd Class and its equivalents, Master Warrant Officer; it is part of the cadre of Warrant Officers. The French language form of the rank is Premier maître de 1re classe (pm 1). The rank insignia of the CPO1 is the Coat of Arms of Canada, worn on both forearms of the Service Dress tunic and on slip-ons on both shoulders of other uniforms. Unlike other CPO2s and Petty Officers, CPO1s wear the cap insignia of Naval officers, although the brim of the peak cap remains plain, the same as other Naval NCMs. CPO1s are generally initially addressed as "Chief Petty Officer Bloggins" or "Chief Bloggins", and thereafter as "Chief", although in correspondence the full rank or abbreviation is used before the member's name. The full appellation "Chief Petty Officer 1st Class" in speech is generally used only when the "first class" distinction must be made, such as to distinguish between members with similar names but differing ranks, or on promotion parades. CPO1s are never addressed as "Sir" or "Ma'am", regardless of the protocol for their Army and Air Force equivalents; in Naval tradition, the titles "Sir" and "Ma'am" are reserved for officers. One of the normal appointments of a CPO1 is that of coxswain, the senior NCM on a ship; it is roughly analogous to an Army Regimental Sergeant-Major (RSM). Due to the unified nature of the CF, however, it is not unheard-of for CPO1s - especially those of the so-called "purple trades", such as logistics or military police to find themselves filling the appointment of RSM in what are otherwise considered "hard" army units (such as Service Battalions). CPO1s may also hold appointments as the senior NCM in a larger formations or on a base; these appointments, and their respective insignia, include: * Base Chief Petty Officer (BCPO) - the Coat of Arms over crossed crusader swords * Formation Chief Petty Officer - the Coat of Arms over the central insignia of the badge of the Canadian Armed Forces (an anchor, crossed swords and an albatross in flight). * Fleet Chief Petty Officer (Fleet CPO) - the Coat of Arms over a small foul anchor * Command Chief Petty Officer (CCPO) - the Coat of Arms with a wreath of laurel wrapped around the base * Canadian Forces Chief Warrant Officer (CFCWO) - the Coat of Arms with a wreath of twenty-eight maple leaves wrapped around the base and sides. The title of this highest non-commssioned position in the Canadian Forces is not, however, ever referred to as "Canadian Forces Chief Petty Officer" if the incumbent is from the Navy. CPO1s generally mess and billet with Petty Officers and other Chief Petty Officers, and their Army and Air Force equivalents, Warrant Officers and Sergeant. Their mess on naval bases or installations are generally named the "Chiefs and POs Mess".
How can a second class petty officer get a warrant officer commission in the Navy?
Normally, Chief Warrant Officers are taken from the ranks of Senior Petty Officers, meaning you must be at least a Chief before you can be commissioned. However, in 2006, the Navy started a test program called the "Flying Chief Warrant Officer" Program, which allows enlisted personnel E-5 and up to qualify as Naval flight officers. To earn a commission to Warrant Officer 2, the prospect must have at least a 2-year Associate's Degree, and not be serviing in the Diver, Master-at-Arms, Nuclear, SEAL, SWCC, or EOD communities.
