The 8th Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy, John Hagan, donates personal Navy memorabilia to the USS Hopper recruit barracks at Recruit Training Command. The quarter deck of the Hopper was dedicated as MCPON Hagan Quarter Deck upon its comissioning. Hagan served as MCPON for nearly six years, serving under three Chiefs of Naval Operations, Admiral Frank Kelso, Admiral Mike Boorda and Admiral Jay L. Johnson. More than 40,000 recruits train annually at the Navy's only boot camp.
