And, as expected, some mistakes by a well-meaning reporter who did the voice-over based on quickly-written notes are evident -- such as in the 2nd video, which opens with a Submariner getting pinned with his "fins".

Are PCU CO billets now O-6? I seem to remember O-5 COs at EB two years ago.

About the fins thing, the submariner is getting pinned with his "fins", its a dolphin pin, and dolphins have fins. No mistake there.
