What's next? Crossing the Line Ceremonies and CPO Initiations?
Look, I went through those Navy "traditions", and for the most part, they were "fun"...until some drunk ass went too far.
It's a different animal today. When I retired in 2014, the Sailors were smarter, more technical, more critically thinking and more professional. There were some nuckleheads, but damn...you have, basically kids, working on nuclear reactors, complex avionics equipment, sonar, comms, cryptographic electronic warfare equipment, navigation systems, gyroscopes, complex engineering and propulsion gear, etc.
I had a female Sailor that worked for me. I have no idea how many push-ups she could do, but I trusted her ship positioning plots more than our GPS. Using a chart, compass, ruler, protractor, pencil and a stopwatch, she could tell me where my ship was in the vast ocean, accurate to within a hair on a frogs ass.
