This bold, metal belt buckle commands attention with a menacing cobra centerpiece, symbolizing alertness, lethal precision, and unwavering readiness. Traits every Navy Sailor understands and respects. The snake’s piercing red eyes and fangs project dominance and confidence, reflecting the mindset required on the deck plate.

At the top, “CLASS 132” honors the Chief Petty Officer class, reinforcing brotherhood, shared hardship, and earned legacy. The bottom banner, “YEAR OF THE SNAKE,” ties into the Chinese zodiac, representing wisdom, strategy, patience, and decisive action—qualities deeply aligned with Navy leadership and operational excellence.

On the left, the USN fouled anchor with chain is a powerful nod to Navy heritage, maritime tradition, and the responsibility carried by Sailors who have earned their place. The right-side marking “FY 26” anchors the piece in time, making it a personal, commemorative artifact tied to a Sailor’s career milestone.
