Goat locker
In navy jargon, the goat locker is a lounge, sleeping area and galley on board a naval vessel which is reserved for the exclusive use of Chief Petty Officers. By tradition, all other personnel, including officers and even the Commanding Officer, must request permission to enter the goat locker. ==Etymology== The term 'goat locker' takes its origins from wooden ship sailing times, when goats were kept aboard ship. The goat was used for its ability to consume nearly all forms of refuse and produce milk for the crew. The quarters for the goat were traditionally in the Chief Petty Officer mess facilities, which inherited the moniker 'The Goat Locker'. In modern times, the 'Goat Locker' has come to represent any gathering place, on or off-ship, where the Chief Petty Officers can hold private functions.
