NRC Augusta proudly celebrated one of the U.S. Navy’s most honored traditions, the Chief Petty Officer Pinning Ceremony.

Please join us in congratulating our newly pinned Chief Petty Officers:

⚓ CWTC (SS) Lackey
⚓ CTRC (SW) Shiver
⚓ CTRC (IW/AW/SW) Youngman

The fouled anchors pinned upon a Chief Petty Officer represent more than an advancement in rank. They symbolize leadership, responsibility, accountability, and a commitment to developing and caring for our Sailors.

Reaching the rank of Chief is an incredible milestone built upon years of dedication, perseverance, and service. As these Sailors join the Chiefs Mess, they carry forward the proud traditions and responsibilities entrusted to Navy Chiefs for generations.

Congratulations, Chiefs! Welcome to the Mess. ⚓️🇺🇸

Front & Center | IT1 Britain Weaver | Cyber Wins the Fight

Meet Information Systems Technician 1st Class Britain Weaver, a recognized cybersecurity expert with Task Force 504.

IT1 Weaver brought deep experience to the fight as part of the task force's advance onboarding team, including 11 years as a certified cybersecurity professional in the civilian sector, where he has spent the past six years detecting and responding to cyber threats at the enterprise level.

He recently coordinated across five states to ensure 250 warfighters were ready to operate before day one of the exercise. Working with the local supporting command, he built the process from the ground up, and command leadership maintained uninterrupted network access throughout.

That is the Navy Reserve advantage. IT1 Weaver spends his civilian career defending networks at the highest level. When the fleet needs that capability forward, he brings it with him.

Bravo Zulu, IT1 Weaver.
