Chief Petty Officer selectee MM1 Christopher Huggins crunches out another sit up during morning physical training at Joint Base Charleston - Weapons Station last week. Physical training is a key component of Chief Petty Officer Induction, the process of transitioning first class petty officers into chief petty officers. Besides ensuring the Navy's newest chiefs are physically fit, PT provides an opportunity for the chief selectees to work alongside seasoned CPOs to build teamwork and camaraderie. Huggins is assigned to the Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston. (U.S. Navy photo/Chief Petty Officer Ira Holmes)
