Brandon Andrade, a unit first sergeant with Marine Corps Security Force Battalion (MCSFBn) Kings Bay, and Sergeant Major Cory Daly, the MCSFBn senior enlisted leader, stand at parade rest during a Chief Petty Officer (CPO) pinning ceremony at MCSFBn Headquarters on Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Ga., Sept. 16, 2026. During the ceremony, Andrade and Daly joined four U.S. Navy Sailors in receiving their gold CPO collar anchors, marking their honorary induction into the Chiefs Mess. Established on April 1, 1893, the rank of Chief Petty Officer represents a legacy of deckplate leadership, with the pinning ceremony marking the culmination of a six-week initiation of physical and leadership training.
