Moving on up...Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Vi J. Potal is pinned by HM1 Shaun Aragon during Naval Hospital Bremerton's Frocking Ceremony for 43 Sailors on June 3, 2016. Not only did Potal advance in rate, but he found out he passed on the same day as he was preparing for his commencement ceremony to accept his Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology (Official Navy photo).
