    A military commissioning or promotion ceremony is taking place outdoors near a waterfront. Two civilians, a man in a gray suit and a woman with long gray hair, are assisting a naval officer in white dress uniform by placing his officer's cover (hat) on his head and adjusting his uniform. This appears to be a traditional 'pinning' or commissioning ceremony moment.

    An outdoor military commissioning or oath-of-office ceremony taking place on a waterfront plaza. Several uniformed service members — including Marines in dress blues and Navy personnel in dress whites — are raising their right hands to take an oath administered by a senior officer in white dress uniform. Seated guests and standing observers witness the ceremony against an urban backdrop with buildings and trees.

The setting is an outdoor waterfront location with American and Marine Corps flags visible in the background. The formal occasion and the act of pinning or adjusting insignia suggest a milestone military ceremony.
