    A close-up image showing a U.S. Navy sailor named Cardenas in NWU Type III (woodland digital camouflage) uniform during what appears to be a 'blood pinning' or badge tacking ceremony. A hand is pressing against the sailor's chest where a warfare qualification badge has been pinned directly through the fabric, with visible dirt or debris around the badge area. This is a traditional military ceremony marking the earning of a warfare qualification pin.

    CAMP LEMONNIER, Djibouti (August 27, 2021) U.S. Navy Electronics Technician 2nd Class Michael Cardenas, assigned to Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron 11 (MSRON-11), Combined Task Group 68.6, stands at attention while getting pinned during an Expeditionary Warfare (EXW) pinning ceremony on base, Aug. 27, 2021. During the ceremony, a helmet signifying all the warriors who served before is passed along and filled with the following elements: Sand, representing all the beaches we have crossed; dirt, the memory of the Navy’s proud history; saltwater, the reminder of the naval genesis of the sea; and river water, reminding us that the Navy owns the inland waters – together representing the proud accomplishments of U.S. Naval history. Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti (CLDJ) serves as an expeditionary base for U.S. military forces providing support to ships, aircraft and personnel that ensure security throughout Europe, Africa and Southwest Asia. CLDJ enables maritime and combat operations in the Horn of Africa while fostering positive U.S.-Africa relations. (U.S. Navy photo by Personnel Specialist 2nd Class Nestor Mejia)
