FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Sept. 27, 2024) Retired Senior Chief Radioman Christine “Chris” Kennedy, a 22-year Navy veteran and member of Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES) addressed the audience during a chief pinning ceremony held inside the Mary N. Porter Sea Cadet Training Center, September 27, 2024. Kennedy enlisted in 1971 and under the WAVES program. The term WAVES continued in usage for Navy women until 1978 with the passage of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act, when the WAVES became a permanent component of the U.S. Navy and women’s units of the armed forces were integrated with formerly all-male units. The traditional chief pinning ceremony recognizes the most significant promotion of an enlisted Navy Sailor’s career. NTAG Miami has 38 recruiting locations throughout South Florida, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, with the combined mission to recruit the highest caliber Sailors to meet the needs of the fleet.
