Amber V 08-12-2006, 08:03 AM I just want to say that is so cool they are getting to do that. I feel that is a part of tradition that needs to stay in the Navy.
Shaky 08-12-2006, 08:04 AM What do they really do on this? my husband mention it in one of his emails and I know it's an initiation but what do they do?

Im not really sure, I know one of the girls on here must know!!
I've seen them get hit with water and have to do weird things but what exactly they do, I don't know. I know what area of the planet they need to be at and thats a shocker to me!!!! :inshock
But Im so xcited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yahoo
Kaymara 08-12-2006, 08:09 AM It varies on what they do. And alot like to keep it "Secret" It's one of those proud ship moments. My husband is a golden shellback or something like that. He's crossed many times.
Some times they make ya eat some not so tasty things, crawl around on hands and knees, sprayed with water, and alot more. It really varies. It is all in good fun and I think it is a GREAT tradition and 1 I hope never goes away :)
Amber V 08-12-2006, 08:13 AM My dh had to eat a raisen out of his chiefs belly button that was covered in PB. :pukey but none the less it is harmless fun. My uderstanding is that it basically an obstacle course of many events. You have to get from point A to point B and that anyone can send you back for any reason to start over.
BubblesAngel13 08-12-2006, 08:14 AM Thanx girls!!! This is just so xciting to me!!!!! :yahoo :yahoo :yahoo :wiggle
JudyB 08-12-2006, 08:16 AM Thats pretty cool...glad they are getting to do that!!
I wonder if my dh will ever get to have that much fun...LOL...8 years and still hasn't reached that point...though they will be close with this deploy...oh well
Shaky 08-12-2006, 08:44 AM OMG :lol my husband is so serious when it comes to the Navy, I can't imagine him having to do all this :lmao
Amber V 08-12-2006, 09:21 AM I have always said the Navy is one big Frat party :lol
you get to be someones bitch for the day!!:devil they just play tricks on you and make you stay up long hours. once it is over, they have a ceremony. DH still carries his card in his wallet.
Hay you guys I want pics of this. My husband said he was thinking of doing it but I just cannot see him doing it. He is the shyest guy in the world* so unlike me!!!!!!!!* I want pics of this so bad!!! I think I would put them up on my dresser. I hope he enjoys it. But I did have a ques. He works night shift is he still going to have a chance to do the shellback thing??????
Where I went on my vacation to visit him in the port call, was only 100 miles from the equator. So, they haven't been far off for quite sometime.
The whole ceremony is silly to me. :shrug

Yes it is, but so are most things guys do.

I knew they were near it but I thought you had to cross it??!! They said at the meetings it was unclear as to if they would cross it, thats why this comes as a shock to me! Im not good on geography so maybe one of their ports is below it.
I just think its too cool but not everyone has to like it!!! :)
I didn't say I didn't like it, I just think it's silly!
They are doing alot of flight ops right now, Allen says that they are flying a ton. So, I'm sure that is the reason they are where they are. They'll have to do a little backtracking in a few days. ;)

AWWWW, that xplains it!!! Thanx!!! That is why I was so xcited because I knew they had said something along time ago in the meetings that they may not cross it and now that they are, I think I am more xcited than my DH, who has mentioned nothing about it! But that doesn't surprise me!! :)
Polkadot 08-12-2006, 10:09 AM My DF did this on his last deployment ! It is quite a tradition !!
