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

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)
