Country musician Trace Ad
Country musician Trace Adkins entertains Sailors aboard USS Abraham Lincoln during a USO-sponsored concert held in the ship?s hangar bay. Sailors took advantage of the opportunity to meet Mr. Adkins ?up close and personal,? for photo opportunities and personalized autographs. For more than sixty years the USO has brought entertainment and comfort to U.S. service men and women around the world, in conflicts from World War II to today's Operation Enduring Freedom. There is hardly a name in the list of entertainment and sports celebrities that hasn't appeared on a USO show roster of those entertaining the troops these past six decades. Abraham Lincoln is on a regularly scheduled deployment in support of Operations Southern Watch and Enduring Freedom. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Stephen Neel.

Recruits at the Recruit T
Recruits at the Recruit Training Center, Great Lakes, Ill., inventory and read a passage out of their freshly-issued Bluejackets Manual. Recruits are required to read the ?From Civilian to Sailor? passage during their first few hours of arriving at the Center for basic training. The Bluejacket's Manual is celebrating a century of teaching Sailors the basics of Navy seamanship and life in the Navy-- including terminology, rank structure, jobs, military drill, and proper wearing and stowing of uniforms. The book gets a major overhaul every four years and is printed every six months. Each edition includes minor updates that ensure the manual is as accurate as possible.

Retired Chief Musician El
Retired Chief Musician Elmer Melby celebrates his 100th birthday on Navy Birthday, Oct. 13. Members of the Navy Band Northwest traveled over 446 miles round trip to pay tribute to one of their own. Chief Melby was born in Manfred, S.D., on Oct. 13, 1902. He was only 17 years old when he visited a Navy recruiter for the first time in 1919 and told the skeptical recruiter that he was 21 years of age. Chief Melby first learned to play drums in his father's band as a youth, so enlisting in the Navy and joining the Navy Band was a natural. While in the Navy, Chief Melby also learned how to play clarinet, saxophone, and violin. During this time every ship had its own band. When not playing, band members manned battle stations and helped keep the ship clean. U.S.
