Boston, Mass. (Sep. 03, 2004) A chief petty officer (CPO) selectee climbs the rigging aboard USS Constitution during the annual sail training aboard the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world. Constitution takes part in CPO select training every summer, teaching the new chiefs techniques from the sailing days of the past so they can apply that knowledge in their modern careers.
