1985 or 86 Preparing to go on what we called "A drug busting patrol" I'm taking the photo, it usually took a day and a half to make the 20+ mile hump...Real bullets, real LAW rocket launchers and lots of fun. This patrol went out twice a week. My brother-in-law is standing directly in the middle and the best man at my wedding is above him with an M79 grenade launcher.

1982, In the U.S. Navy, when a ship crosses the equator a time-honored ceremony takes place. This is a Navy tradition and an event no sailor ever forgets. With few exceptions, those who have been inducted into the "mysteries of the deep" by Neptunus Rex and his Royal court, count the experience as a highlight of their naval career. Members of Neptunus Rex's party usually include Davy Jones, Neptune's first assistant, Her Highness Amphitrite, the Royal Scribe, the Royal Doctor, the Royal Dentist, the Royal Baby, the Royal Navigator, the Royal Chaplain, the Royal Judge, Attorneys, Barbers and other names that suit the party. Officially recognized by service record entries indicating date, time, latitude and longitude, the crossing of the equator involves elaborate preparation by the "shellbacks" (those who have crossed the equator before) to ensure the "pollywogs" (those who are about to cross the equator for the first time) are properly indoctrinated. All pollywogs, even the Commanding Officer if he has not crossed before, must participate. A Golden Shellback is one who has crossed the equator at the 180th meridian.
