Boston, mass. (sept. 1, 2004) - chief petty officer (cpo) selectees dress off in formation while preparing for marching drills next to the u. S. Navy’s sail ship uss constitution. The cpo selects learned about the life of a sailor serving aboard “old ironsides” in the 1800s over the course of a week-long period. Their daily tasks ranged from climbing the mast and setting sails, to manning the guns and even sleeping on board. U. S. Navy photo by journalist 2nd class brandan w. Schulze (released).
