Line Crossing Ceremony-F$@?ing Pollywogs
First lets go through some shitty weather south of Madagascar.
Now find some filthy pollywogs about the decks
Setup the ceremonial deck.
The finest group of shellbacks I have sailed with so far. King Neptune and his beautiful Queen in the middle.
Line em up and dress em down
The royal Judge also serving as jury and executioner. (Retired USMC)
Greetings the wogs with exercise, a few salty training evolutions and ice cold water as the enter the area one at a time.
Here we suspended a bucket on a high wire. Two pollywogs on opposite ends try to blast it past a mark with 150psi of seawater from fire hoses.
Lets practice some pipe patching on the trident the engineers fabricated.
A salty Shellback that oversaw the marlinspike evolution
A tradition unlike any other…..the slop chute.
Along the way each pollywog should have acquired a gift for her majesty. If the gift was misplaced then its back to the beginning. Such a hottie!!!!
Her Majesty then presents you to King Neptune to be christened as a Shellback, with an egg to the head
Another satisfied Shellback!
Get that cargo off so we can go out for a beverage.
Now she is back from 3 years of being overseas for a much needed shipyard period…..and ski season🤙

Killer TR.
My Marine Corps buddy always enjoyed this tradition when his taxi service, as he called them, the US Navy were giving him and his buddies lifts around the globe.I still call it The Jake.

Yay for ROROs - and for the type of hazing that leaves everyone smiling at the end of the day!

I’m a Shellback.
We always had a Royal Baby, a character I did not see in your pics.
(fattest Shellback on the ship, belly greased up with Crisco, pollywogs had to get their faces rubbed in it…)

Yes, plus every ship of every nation does some version of it. Navy, civilian, everybody. The tradition goes back many hundreds of years. Originally Posted by ötzi
