Welcome to the Goat Locker Hall of Fame Association (GLHOF), a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the proud traditions of the U.S. Navy Chief’s Mess. We honor the legacies of retired Chiefs, promote camaraderie among shipmates, and provide mentorship and service that reflect our lifelong dedication to the Navy and its future.
The mission of the GOAT LOCKER HALL OF FAME Association is to preserve the traditions and values of the Chief’s Mess, foster unity among retired Chiefs, and continue acts of service and mentorship that reflect our lifelong dedication to the Navy and its future.
The Goat Locker Hall of Fame Association was founded to honor the extraordinary legacy of U.S. Navy Chiefs who have dedicated their lives to service. Chiefs are the backbone of the Navy, guiding generations of Sailors through leadership, mentorship, and example. The GLHOF ensures these stories of resilience, sacrifice, and service are preserved for future generations, while also creating opportunities for connection, mentorship, and community service beyond active duty.
A message from AOCM Tyese Pressley, USN (Ret.) “We created the Goat Locker Hall of Fame Association to recognize the remarkable legacies of our retired Chiefs and to ensure their contributions continue to inspire future generations. This community stands as a living testament to the values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment. Together, as one united family of Chiefs, we will preserve our traditions, foster lifelong connections, and continue serving others.
