((MC reads – THE WATCH))

MC BOATSWAIN…STAND-BY TO PIPE THE SIDE!!

THIS ORDER HAS BEEN PASSED ON NAVAL SHIPS FROM THE 1500’S THROUGH TODAY. SPANISH, FRENCH, ENGLISH, DUTCH…YES, ALL NAVIES OF THE WORLD USE THE BOATSWAIN, SIDEBOYS AND CALL TO BRING ABOARD OR SEND ASHORE ALL SHIP’S COMPANY OFFICERS, VISITING OFFICERS, DIGNITARIES, AND VIPs.

THE SIDEBOYS WOULD HAUL ON THE ROPES AND RAISE OR LOWER THE BOARDING PLATFORM SO OFFICERS WOULD NOT HAVE TO CLIMB THE RAT LINES (WHICH WERE HANGING OVER THE SIDE AND USED BY THE ENLISTED CREW) WHEN GOING ASHORE OR TO GET ABOARD. THIS HONOR WAS EXTENDED TO VISITING OFFICERS, DIGNITARIES, AND PORT OFFICIALS.

IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON FOR THE COMMANDING OFFICER OF A SHIP TO ORDER UP THE JOLLY BOAT, A CREW OF EIGHT STRONG BACKS, SIDEBOYS, AND BOATSWAIN…TO SEND AN OLD SHIPMATE TO HIS SHORE RETIREMENT…HOME…NEVER TO SAIL ON NAVAL SHIPS AGAIN.

“ALL HANDS ON DECK” WAS PASSED, SPEECHES WERE MADE ABOUT GREAT VICTORIES, BATTLES FOUGHT UPON THE OPEN SEA, RAGING STORMS WEATHERED, AND VOYAGES TO DISTANT AND STRANGE LANDS WITH PORTS-OF-CALL OTHERS ONLY DREAMED ABOUT.

MC IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE THE GUEST SPEAKER FOR TODAY’S CEREMONY, COMMANDER FILIPOWSKI, EXECUTIVE OFFICER, NSGA MISAWA.

OLDE GLORY PRESENTATION

I AM THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. MY NAME IS OLDE GLORY.

I FLY ATOP THE WORLD'S TALLEST BUILDINGS

I STAND WATCH IN AMERICA'S HALLS OF JUSTICE.

I FLY MAJESTICALLY OVER GREAT INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING.

I STAND GUARD WITH THE GREATEST MILITARY POWER IN THE WORLD.

LOOK UP! AND SEE ME!!!

I STAND FOR PEACE HONOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE.

I STAND FOR FREEDOM!!

I AM CONFIDENT, I AM ARROGANT, I AM PROUD.

WHEN I AM FLOWN WITH MY FELLOW BANNERS, MY HEAD IS HELD A LITTLE HIGHER - MY COLORS ARE A LITTLE TRUER

I BOW TO NO ONE!

I AM RECOGNIZED ALL OVER THE WORLD.

I AM WORSHIPPED - I AM SALUTED - I AM RESPECTED - I AM REVERED - I AM LOVED - I AM FEARED!!

FOR MORE THAN 200 YEARS, I HAVE FOUGHT IN EVERY BATTLE OF EVERY WAR; GETTYSBURG, SHILOH, APPOMATTOX, SAN JUAN HILL,THE TRENCHES OF FRANCE, THE ARGENNE FOREST, ANZIO, ROME, THE BEACHES OF NORMANDY, THE JUNGLES OF GUAM, OKINAWA, TARAWA, KOREA, VIETNAM AND IN THE HEAT OF THE PERSIAN GULF AND A SCORE OF OTHER PLACES.

LONG FORGOTTEN BY ALL, BUT THOSE WHO WERE THERE WITH ME.

I WAS THERE.

I LED MY SAILORS AND MARINES,

I FOLLOWED THEM, I WATCH OVER THEM, THEY LOVE ME.

I WAS ON A SMALL HILL ON IWO JIMA.

I WAS DIRTY BATTLE TORN AND TIRED BUT MY SAILORS AND MARINES CHEERED ME!!!!

I WAS PROUD!

I HAVE BEEN SOILED BURNED TORN AND TRAMPLED ON THE STREETS OF COUNTRIES THAT I HAVE HELPED TO SET FREE.

IT DOES NOT HURT FOR I AM INVINCIBILE.

I HAVE BEEN SOILED BURNED TORN AND TRAMPLED ON THE STREETS OF MY OWN COUNTRY AND WHEN IT IS DONE BY THOSE WHOM WITH I HAVE SERVED IN BATTLE. IT HURTS!!!

BUT I SHALL OVERCOME FOR I AM STRONG!!

I HAVE SLIPPED THE SURELY BOUNDS OF EARTH AND, FROM MY VANTAGE POINT ON THE MOON,

I STAND WATCH OVER THE NEW FRONTIERS OF SPACE.

I HAVE BEEN THE SILENT WITNESS TO ALL OF AMERICA'S FINEST HOURS.

BUT MY FINEST HOUR COMES WHEN I AM TORN INTO STRIPS, TO BE USED AS BANDAGES FOR MY WOUNDED COMRADES ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE.

WHEN I FLY HALF MAST TO HONOR MY SAILORS AND MARINES AND WHEN I LIE IN THE TREMBLING ARMS OF A GRIEVING MOTHER – AT THE GRAVESIDE OF HER FALLEN SON OR DAUGHTER I AM PROUD!

MY NAME IS "OLDE GLORY" LONG MAY I WAVE DEAR GOD, LONG MAY I WAVE.

MC IN THE LATE 1700’S, THE U.S. NAVY SET SAIL WITH NEW IDEAS, NEW GOALS, AND A DESIRE TO BUILD TRADITIONS THAT WOULD LAST THROUGH THE TEST OF TIEM. THE U.S. NAVY LED THE WAY WITH PROVIDING HONORS FOR CREWMEN. THE 1800’S SAW ENLISTED MEN HOLDING RETIREMENTS FOR ENLISTED MEN FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE CAPTAIN WOULD ALLOW THE JOLLY BOAT TO TAKE THE ENLISTED RETIREEE ASHORE. THEN, AFTER THE CIVIL WAR, COMMANDING OFFICERS BEGAN TO HOLD ENLISTED RETIREMENT CEREMONIES TO SHOW THE CREW THAT HE, AND THE NAVY, RECOGNIZED THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF ITS ENLISTED CREWMEN.

UNITED STATES NAVY

THE FOLLOWING RETIREMENT CREED

YOU HAVE THIS DAY EXPERIENCED THAT WHICH COMES TO ALL OF US WHO SERVE ON ACTIVE DUTY IN "OUR NAVY." I SAY "OUR NAVY" BECAUSE YOUR DEPARTURE FROM ACTIVE DUTY IN NO WAY TERMINATES YOUR RELATIONSHIP, REGARD, OR OBLIGATION TO THE UNITED STATES NAVY AND YOUR FELLOW CHIEF PETTY OFFICERS. BY LAW AND TRADITION U.S. NAVY RETIREES ARE ALWAYS ON THE ROLLS - EVER READY TO LEND THEIR SERVICE WHEN THE NEED ARISES. THE RESPECT THAT YOU EARNED AS "THE CHIEF" WAS BASED ON THE SAME ATTRIBUTES THAT YOU WILL NOW CARRY INTO RETIREMENT. YOU SHOULD HAVE NO REGRETS AND SHOULD NOT VIEW YOUR RETIREMENT AS AN END OF AN ERA, BUT RATHER AS ORDERS TO A NEW AND CHALLENGING ASSIGNMENT, TO A FORM OF INDEPENDENT DUTY. REMEMBER WELL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN, AND WILL ALWAYS BE AN ACCEPTED MEMBER OF THE MOST EXCLUSIVE OF ALL MARITIME FRATERNITIES - THAT OF THE U.S. NAVY CHIEF PETTY OFFICERS. ACTIVE DUTY CHIEFS SALUTE YOU –

("CHIEF PETTY OFFICERS, HAND SALUTE .... READY TWO.)

RETIRED CHIEFS WELCOME YOU - - AND WE WISH YOU THE TRADITIONAL "FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS."

BEST REGARDS, CHIEF PETTY OFFICERS

((Chief Carwile returns to his seat))

MC TODAY OUR NAVY HAS GIVEN MOST OF THE POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE, THE HONORS, TRADITIONS, AND CEREMONIES BACK TO HISTORY…TIME DOES NOT GIVE US THE FREEDOM TO DO THESE THINGS FROM THE PAST…BUT, WE STILL HAVE TO STOP ALL ENGINES, LAY ABOUT SMARTLY, AND DROP ANCHOR TO PAY HOMAGE TO ONE OF OUR SHIPMATES GOING ASHORE. TO HONOR THE YEARS SERVED, THE GUIDANCE, THE LEADERSHIP, THE FRIENDSHIP AND THE EXPERTISE THAT THIS SHIPMATE HAS FREELY GIVEN THESE 22 YEARS.

FOR TWENTY TWO YEARS, THIS SAILOR HAS STOOD THE WATCH.

WHILE SOME OF US WERE IN OUR BUNKS AT NIGHT THIS SAILOR STOOD THE WATCH

WHILE SOME OF US WERE IN SCHOOL LEARNING OUR TRADE, THIS SHIPMATE STOOD THE WATCH

YES, EVEN BEFORE SOME OF US WERE BORN INTO THIS WORLD ... THIS SHIPMATE STOOD THE WATCH

IN THOSE YEARS WHEN THE STORM CLOUDS OF WAR WERE SEEN BREWING ON THE HORIZON OF HISTORY THIS SHIPMATE STOOD THE WATCH

MANY TIMES HE WOULD CAST AN EYE ASHORE AND SEE HIS

FAMILY STANDING THERE ... NEEDING HIS GUIDANCE AND

HELP...NEEDING THAT HAND TO HOLD DURING THOSE HARD

TIMES ... BUT HE STILL STOOD THE WATCH

HE STOOD THE WATCH FOR TWENTY-TWO YEARS

HE STOOD THE WATCH SO THAT WE , OUR FAMILIES, AND OUR

FELLOW COUNTRYMEN COULD SLEEP SOUNDLY IN SAFETY EACH

AND EVERY NIGHT KNOWING THAT A SAILOR STOOD THE WATCH

TODAY WE ARE HERE TO SAY "SHIPMATE, THE WATCH STANDS

RELIEVED. RELIEVED BY THOSE YOU HAVE LED, GUIDED, AND

TRAINED.

CHIEF CARWILE, YOU STAND RELIEVED. WE HAVE THE WATCH.

"BOATSWAIN ... STANDBY TO PIPE THE SIDE ... SHIPMATE GOING
