SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS - Navy Capt. Gerald DeLong, incoming commander for Naval Medical Research Unit-San Antonio, is saluted by the sideboys as he arrives at the NAMRU-SA change of command ceremony at Brooke Army Medical Center at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston May 21. The sideboys are a traditional throwback to the days when coming aboard a ship meant either climbing up a rope or being hoisted aboard in a boatswain’s chair. Sideboys were used to assist if necessary in pulling the visitor over the side.
