There are a few references to the origin of the term, but the two most likely are:
1. As Chiefs are typically the oldest sailors aboard any afloat or ashore command ("Old Goats" i.e., old timers, older sailors, etc.), the term references that slang term. The Goat Locker therefore is any place that Chiefs (Old Goats) reside, lounge, eat, etc.
2. In the days of sailing vessels, goats were used for milk to supply the crew; to keep the goat safe, they were kept in the Chief's Mess.
