Navy Medicine Sacred Dates video series debuts with a tribute of the chief petty officer (CPO) rank that was established on April 1, 1893, with General Order 409 by Secretary of the Navy Benjamin Tracy. The CPO rank, a cornerstone of naval leadership, was originally introduced across nine ratings – to include the apothecary rating that is the direct ancestor of today’s Hospital Corps. The Navy Medicine Sacred Dates is a video series, championed by the Navy Medicine historian and produced by M-VID, highlights specific U.S. naval traditions and the history of Navy Medicine.
