Chief Electrician’s Mate John White receives his combination cover during the FY25 chief pinning ceremony on the flight deck aboard the Wasp-class amphibious ship USS Makin Island (LHD 8), Sept. 27, 2024. Advancement to the rank of Chief Petty Officer requires a Sailor to take on the dual role of technical expert and designated leader. The title of “Chief” carries with it a tradition of knowledge, teamwork, and the ability to take charge that began when the Navy first introduced the rank on April 1, 1893.
