U.S. Marine Master Sgt. Dorian Gardner, staff non commissioned officer-in-charge, Communication Strategy and Operations, Marine Corps Installations West, is pinned by his wife, U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Lilia Gardner, and their son, Julian, after Gardner completed the Naval Chief Petty Officer Initiation at the Camp Pendleton Base Theater, Jan. 29, 2021. Gardner stated that his goal was to become a better leader while creating an experience that he may share with his wife between their military careers. Naval Chief Petty Officer Initiation is conducted every year after sailors from across the Navy are selected for the rank of chief petty officer. While it is mainly a Naval-oriented professional military education, it is open to the Marine Corps and other branches of service. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Dylan Chagnon)
