A shellback, you frakkin’ bubble head! A pollywog is someone who’s never crossed the equator. Last cruise I did, I was Davey Jones. 2nd oldest shellback on board. Oldest shellback gets to be King Neptune.

Ahhh…I worked for the DOD as a Nuke on Subs for 20 years.. I was never in the service..I was hired out of College at MINSY. I often did test dives..And it was scary as shit…When you shut the hatch in the Sail and dive deep looking for leaks with a flashlight in the Fan room crawling behind equipment.. It’s not a ‘this is cool moment!’ It truly is terrifying day.. Nobody signs up for test dives..They select civilians from a list…It sucks when your boss hates your guts..
