    A U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer is having his combination cover (cap) placed on his head by a fellow sailor during what appears to be a Chief Petty Officer pinning or frocking ceremony. The recipient is smiling broadly, suggesting this is a celebratory promotion event. The setting appears to be outdoors near a formal stone building, consistent with a military installation.
