200129-N-ZM469-012 STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. – United States Navy Chief Petty Officer Jesus Mercado salutes the small gathering of family, command leadership, and fellow chiefs during the formal Naval Special Warfare Stennis CPO pinning ceremony held on January 29 at the John Stennis Space Center in South Mississippi. The ceremony, which is normally held in September but delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, is a time-honored U.S. Navy tradition that has been performed for more than 100 years. The pinning ceremony is described as the most significant transition that U.S. Sailors will ever make in their military careers. NSW commands located at the Stennis Space Center consist of the Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School, Special Boat Team 22, and NSWG-4 Training Detachment Stennis. The three NSW commands are situated on the NSW Western Maneuver Area Training Range, which is composed of some of the finest riverine and littoral training areas in the world.
