Shellback and Order of the Golden Dragon, not that it means much to many.

Shellback I know. Equator, Neptune etc. but Golden Dragon, I've not heard of.. until I looked it up just now. Amazingly I guessed correctly. :) Another line crossing.

Interestingly, our Maritime forces and those of the Brits are not the only nations' militaries to conduct such ceremonies. The Poles do it too.

I think at least a couple of those are real women.. of course with sailors, one never be certain. :)

Hey now! {;^)
Luckily I was a bit too masculine to fill the role.

With DADT done away with it doesn't matter any more. There will be uniform challenges and the whole nine yards before too long.
There really will be "cabin boys".
