    COMMAND MASTER CHIEF CHIEF OF THE BOAT COMMAND SENIOR CHIEF CHARGES INTRODUCTION 1. OFFICIAL CHARGES. The charge process is designed to prepare, educate, and evaluate those senior enlisted leaders that will have the potential to impact the men and women of the United States Navy by assuming the duties and responsibilities of a CMC, COB, or CSC. The charges were written and collaborated together by the MCPON, FLTCM, FORCM, regional master chiefs, and CMCs who are currently performing these duties in the fleet. 2. CANCELLATION. Senior Enlisted Leader Development Guide. 3. APPLICABILITY. Charge book completion is mandatory for submission of the CMC, COB, and CSC program. A waiver to exclude these charges must be approved at the Region, Force, or Fleet Master Chief level. 4. HOW TO COMPLETE. It is important that the charge book be completed in its entirety. Candidates will complete the charge book as outlined in the “Introduction” portion of each individual section. a.
