 Today is a time-honored naval tradition, the commissioning of a naval officer. Would the guests please rise and remain standing for the arrival of the official party? Chief Petty Officer MacLendon arriving. We come here to celebrate on behalf of Chief MacLendon and his family his commissioning ceremony. We thank you that it's not raining and the sun is out and shining and we pray Lord that you have blessed this time together. I would like to extend a special welcome to the Chief's MacLendon's wife April, mother Susie, his son Carson, and daughter Addison. Chief Petty Officer MacLendon's commission as a Chief Warrant Officer begins a new chapter in his distinguished naval career, thus ending his service as an illicit sailor and Chief Petty Officer. Chief Petty Officer MacLendon will now retire his anchors and cover. Military guest, attention to oath. His wife April, son Carson, and daughter Addison will now affix the Chief Warrant Officer collar devices. Commander Holmes will place the officer cover and it's my honor to introduce the Navy's newest Chief Officer, Chief Warrant Officer MacLendon, United States Navy. Chief Warrant Officer, United States Navy departing.
