Who is FLTCM Jacqueline Jackie (Knotts) DiRosa? - 2006/08/23 04:05
While at work a few weeks ago I picked up a Navy Enquirer (aka Navy Times) to find that one of our shippies, the former HM1/HMC Jackie Knotts, now known as Jacqueline DiRosa was annointed the first female force Master Chief, Atlantic.
Seeing the news, though I have a low regard for the CMC program, I looked her up on NMCI and sent a "hey, congrats, we've started an Acadia site, stop by" email.
Silence.
Two weeks later I resent the message.
Silence.
Okay, I HATE silence. Even the busiest person if motivated will respond to an email within a month, don't you think?
This time I made the subject, "Well, Jackie...." with this verbiage:
An acknowledgement would have been nice. Oh well. Ciao.

Lo and behold, within 15 minutes I got a response, a charming, warmly thought-out retort, dripping with ice crystals and insincerity:
Gerrit,
It is always great to hear from past shipmates but I hope you can understand that my schedule is quite hectic and I receive hundreds of email daily.
No apologies for not getting back to you immediately.

Jackie

OKAY! Thank you Jackie! May I have another?!
So, fellow Acadians, there you have it, one of our own is still sort of in the mix in a useless program (CMC) which sole aim is, IMHO, to make the CPO Mess into the Wardroom. A very, very bad thing.
