Chief Petty Officer Hat Box

October 01, 1998

This Chief Petty Officer hat box, crafted from red oak, is a symbol of tradition and honor within the military. The box is stained and finished to enhance the natural beauty of the wood, while providing a durable and respectful place to store the iconic Combination Cover. Often presented during the Chief’s Call to Initiation ceremony, this hat box serves not only as a functional piece but as a lasting memento of being promoted to the rank of Chief Petty Officer. The addition of the anchor and nameplate further personalizes the box, tying it to the storied traditions of the Navy and Coast Guard.
