- Sep. 29, 2023 - U.S. Navy First Class Petty Officers are promoted to Chief in a pinning ceremony. Family, friends, and coworkers pin the anchors to their uniforms. It's a day of pride, and relief to finish the six-week intensive training known as Chief season.
I remember those days
Now retired and living a long way from anything Navy, this is one of the evolutions I miss being able to participate very much. Sang alone with the video (wife says I still can't carry a note. heh)
Heck yeah Master Chief! Long live Navy Cyberspace!
I am so glad I was "properly" initiated as a Chief back in '82. Thank you Lord!
I’m sure it was much different 40 years ago.
@@USNavyMC You have no idea how much different! I attended a young Chief select's pinning the other day. No more kangaroo court, no drinking, no truth serum, no strippers. I thought it was more of a religious service.
@@gunndish Sounds wild! And back then you were literally "pinned" the rank on.
@@USNavyMC A day I shall never forget!
@@gunndish thank you for your service!
Looks like the Spruance Auditorium at the Naval War College.

Nice. Curious about the presence of the Airmen?
Most likely someone who is assigned to a Navy command. They join them in seasoning and pinning traditions.
Yeah sometimes at a joint command the other branches will ask to participate. I saw a few Marines in there as well, definitely more mixed than any pinning I've been to.
There's a bunch of us. Any location where the Navy works interchangeably (or at least very closely) with joint counterparts will have a couple each year. Specops, Medical, Intel/Cyber, etc. Good example is Haunama Bay where REDHORSE are stationed with SEABEES.
Anchors Aweigh my boys, it is gone, the Navy, it is just an employer today, looks like a co-ed Softball Team roster in la-la land.
I see the fat boy progam isn't working
