U.S service members sings Anchors Aweigh during the island-wide Chief Petty Officer Pinning Ceremony on Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan, Sep. 29, 2024. The ceremony marked the end of the Chief Initiation course, which created a mentorship space for junior chief petty officers to learn from their senior counterparts. Each participant was trained and tested on Navy core values, and received a locked wooden box, also known as a vessel, to take with them throughout the entire course.
