I love how steeped in tradition the US Navy is. And they make sure tradition is respected and adhered to.

A lot of our naval traditions have been stripped away. The Chief Petty Officer Initiations, Shellback, and Blue Nose ceremonies have been damned near stripped of all tradition. It all started with Tailhook. Gunner might agree with that, or not.
