My guess is that he is referring to US Navy Chief's, E-7 to E-9s. You can see their symbols in the lower left quadrant of the pin, the anchors with no, one or two stars reflecting those worn by these Navy senior NCOs. Goat locker refers to the Chief's berthing compartment on a ship. Why it got named goat locker, I have no idea - I only made it to E-6 when in the USN
OP: are you at Patch Barracks, home of EUCOM near Stuttgart? I had the distinct pleasure of visiting there several times when I worked at the US Dept of Energy.
