Just curious how many members here are members of King Neptune's Court, the Royal order of Shellbacks.



If you don't know what I am talking about then the answer is no, or use google, or ask banzai as I can promise you he is a member https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Yeah...I am with you, although I wouldn't say it was a premiere experience!

Even though I was in the Navy 1995-1999. I spent almost all of it living it up on an Air Farce base in Japan...man I got over...Besides who wants to crawl through garbage and ****...no thanks...Old tradition I know but...not for me.

Not in the Navy. Not sure if you can become member of said order without being in the Navy come to think of it.

Well the guidelines actually call for the "pollywogs" to eat a nasty breakfast of slimy foods. The us naval tradition calls for a number of things.... some of which they no longer allow LOL (supposedly)

******* Political Correctness. BTW I am a Bluenose and a shellback.



Plus I have more time on the shitter at test depth then you do in the Navy!

I am 1993 USS Belleau Wood, USMC
