190910-N-YZ252-406 BOSTON (Sept. 10, 2019) Seaman Ana Tomic, center, from Portland, Oregon, leads a group of Navy Chiefs and Chief Selects as Gun Captain in a gun crew training at Charlestown Navy Yard, home of the USS Constitution. She is holding a spark control cloth over the breech of a 24 lb long gun, a replica of the weapon used on USS Constitution as part of her fighting rig in the war of 1812. Across the U.S. Navy every year, Chief Petty Officers train 1st Class Petty Officers who have been selected for promotion in a summer-long training program. The Final Week, in the week leading up to the pinning ceremony in mid-September, is filled with important training events. This year, the Greater New England Chiefs Mess met for their first day of Final Week training at USS Constitution, at Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston. Greater New England Chiefs Mess is made up of Reserve Chiefs from seven Navy Reserve Operational Support Centers, all within four hours drive of Boston. USS Constitution is the world's oldest commissioned warship. (U.S. Navy photo by Chief Mass Communication Specialist Roger S. Duncan/Released)
