COB Koogler

Master Chief Information Systems Technician (Submarine) Angela Koogler, a Kettering native, has been selected to serve aboard a submarine as the first female Chief of the Boat in U.S. Navy history. This honor has never before been awarded to a female in the Navy.

The Chief of the Boat, aka the COB, is an enlisted sailor who serves as the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Commanding Officer and Executive Officer of a U.S. Navy Submarine.

Koogler joined the Navy in 2002, after an ankle injury waylaid her plans to join the Army. She has been devoted to her military career for the past 20 years. Although in her double decade career Koogler has achieved many accolades and accomplishments, she has yet another goal in mind; Command Master Chief (CMC).
