We've all seen it, freshly commissioned faces thrown into positions of leadership for the first time. It can be overwhelming for them and frustrating for everyone else. What advice would you give newly Commissioned Officers with a little enlisted time under their belt?

Pitfalls to avoid? Words to live by?

PO2, listen to your Chiefs. Use your Chiefs for everything. Ask the your chief anything you don't know/understand. The Chiefs are there to train you. Trust but verified.

You have already received lots of good advice, especially the comment of ENS. It is said that CPOs run the Navy. They do. Respect them and listen to their advice.
