I can't even begin to fathom what the shellback ceremony look like these days. When I did it we were subjected to some truly inappropriate [BLEEP]. I cant imagine the younger generations would deal with it. Is tacking on crows abuse nowadays?

I work directly for the Navy still and I can tell you both it's not the same Navy we served in.  Young sailors have never heard the term Irish pennant (IP) and tacking on crows is not tolerated.  There is no Chief's initiation.  When requesting help with temperature checks when this COVID mess started the guard in our building told the CMC of one of the tenant commands that she could really use some help between 0600 - 0900 in the mornings.  His response was that "their work day doesn't start until 0800".

To be fair, you deal mainly with P-3 (or P-8 now) pukes, don’t you?

Good. I never saw the sense in erecting statues to honor those who led a war to tear this country asunder for an inhuman cause.
