Chief Petty Officer Pinning Ceremony

Chief Petty Officer Michael DeMartin is pinned by his sponsors during a chief petty officer ceremony at the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing in Southwest Asia, Sept. 21, 2013. Rich in traditions and rituals, which guide much of Navy life, the chief petty officer pinning ceremony is preserved to ensure Sailors stay consistent with the Navy’s core values of honor, courage and commitment. DeMartin’s hometown is Detroit, Mi., and assigned to NAS Sigonella 0192. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Joselito Aribuabo)
