 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Jonathan Pancall. Sailors aboard USS Constitution began the annual Chief Petty Officer Heritage Weeks August 18th. More than 300 Chief Selects and mentors from the fleet will report to the ship during the next two weeks. The first group arrived this week and began team building exercise, heritage, and leadership training to prepare them for life as Chief Petty Officers. The two-week training will include sail training, gun drills, and boarding pike drills taught by USS Constitution Sailors. The Chief Selects will also get underway with Old Ironsides in the Boston Harbor August 22nd through the 29th. This will be the last CPO Heritage Weeks with Constitution Peerside until 2018. The ship is scheduled to enter dry dock for a three-year maintenance period in early 2015. The ship will still be open to the public for tours during regular visiting hours during the CPO Heritage Weeks.
