True, all indications though point north of where you currently are, unless you're not busy this weekend...

I know what you meant, but it was a funny oxymoron.

For the shellback ceremony for crossing the equator, the bluenose ceremony for crossing the arctic circle, etc, those are traditions going back hundreds of years in some cases. And if memory serves, back in the 90's the Navy made participation in any of these voluntary - in that case IMHO the PC crowd doesn't have a (peg)leg to stand on.

In my case, I've got the Golden Dragon and Bluenose certificates - with ship, location, and date listed as "classified".

Too many top brass desk jockeys with nothing to do in peace time, PC keeps them occupied.
The last "decent war" we had was WW2.

It is impossible to operate a military command without respect. Given his rank aboard the ship he clearly crossed the line. There are so many important desisions to be made in a real time tactical situation, I would definetly NOT want this guy as captain of my ship. I would be wondering if he was thinking about his next video instead a serious problem needing a decision. A captain can have the morals of an alley cat. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. Just keep it to yourself. Having spent time on a carrier I think I know what I am talking about. It's all about respect. He does not have mine. I not even going have my nomex on.
