I’ve got one of those but stopped carrying it on my keychain… kept making holes in my pockets 
Anyone else call it a John Wayne?

I keep the big one in the coin holder in my truck. The little one is in my wallet next to my 100 and eleventieth Chief’s challenge coin. Both have become useful and sparked conversation about the Hobbit and being a Chief.
Cheers,

Rules as they apply to The Chief
THE CHIEF IS ALWAYS RIGHT.
IN THE IMPOSSIBLE HYPOTHESIS THAT A SUBORDINATE MAY BE RIGHT, SEE ABOVE.
THE CHIEF DOES NOT SLEEP, HE RESTS.
THE CHIEF IS NEVER LATE, HE IS DETAINED ELSEWHERE.
THE CHIEF NEVER LEAVES WORK, HIS PRESENCE IS REQUIRED ELSEWHERE.
THE CHIEF NEVER READS THE PAPER IN THE MESS, HE STUDIES.
THE CHIEF NEVER GOES ON LIBERTY WITH HIS JUNIORS, HE CONDUCTS TRAINING SESSIONS.
WHOEVER CONFRONTS THE CHIEF WITH AN IDEA OF HIS OWN, MUST LEAVE WITH THE CHIEF’S IDEA.
THE CHIEF IS ALWAYS THE CHIEF, EVEN IN HIS SHOWER SHOES.

I don’t know what rank a ‘Chief’ is but when I got to my permanent duty station in Germany I walked into the orderly room and reported "Private R Reporting for duty First Sargent (E-8). His reply sticks with me 30 years later… “Don’t call me First Sargent, I’m the Top Dog around here, you call me TOP!!!” “aaaa Private R reporting for duty Top…”.

A Chief is an E7, a Senior Chief is an E8, and a Master Chief is an E9.
