About CPO Spouse Connect
Navigating Life as a Chief’s Spouse: Join Us for an Unmissable Event on the West Coast!
Becoming the spouse of a newly promoted Chief Petty Officer (CPO) brings about exciting yet significant changes. Understanding these transitions and the role you’ll now have the opportunity to play is essential to ensuring a smooth and fulfilling journey ahead. That’s why we’re thrilled to invite you to the CPO Spouse Connect event, an exclusive, free event on the West Coast designed specifically for spouses like you.
More than just a gathering, this event is a unique opportunity to connect with other spouses navigating the same path. You’ll have the chance to learn about the heritage and tradition of pinning on anchors and hear from powerhouse military spouses who have been exactly where you are now. They’ll share their experiences, insights, and advice on what it truly means to be the spouse of a Chief. From managing new responsibilities to understanding the unique dynamics of a Chief’s role, we will cover it all.
