Goat Locker™ Membership Soap
For Chiefs. And Chief-adjacent civilians.
The Goat Locker™ Membership Soap is a full-sized bar of soap cast in the shape of a goat — because the Chief Petty Officer Mess is called the Goat Locker, and the Goat Locker is the most important room on any naval vessel, and if you do not understand why then this soap is not for you. The bar is wrapped in olive-drab kraft paper with a tag that lists the CPO Creed in a font small enough to require reading glasses.
The scent is teak wood, salt air, and something our fragrance team describes as 'the specific gravity of seniority.' It was developed in consultation with two retired Master Chiefs who were not paid for their input but who gave it at length anyway. The bar is 6 oz, hand-poured, and shaped with enough goat detail to be identifiable from across a head.
This soap is technically available to non-Chiefs. We are not gatekeeping soap. We are, however, noting that using it without achieving E-7 may produce a mild but persistent sense of not quite having earned it. The Marine Corps mascot is a bulldog. A bulldog cannot produce milk. The goat can. The Navy wins this particular comparison by any meaningful measure.
“The Marine Corps mascot is a bulldog, which is a fine animal that has never produced milk, won a navigation argument, or run a Chief's Mess.”

After-Action Reports
Bought twelve. One for my head, one for my desk, one for every E-6 in my command with a note that says 'not yet.' The soap is excellent. The message is the point.
I am an E-6. I bought this. I feel weird about it. The soap works fine. The goat is judging me. Promotion board is in March.
Smells exactly right. I don't know how they did that. Gave one to my husband. He said 'this is just soap.' He is not a Chief. He would not understand.
