Chesty XIV, official mascot of the Marine Corps in-training, sits in position bearing his eagle, globe and anchor emblems and commandant of the Marine Corps coin at the conclusion of a ceremony at the Marine Barracks in Washington, DC.

In the upcoming months, the young Marine will serve in a mascot-apprentice roll for the remainder of the summer working alongside his predecessor and mentor Sgt. Chesty XIII until the sergeant's retirement which is expected in late August.
