Looking just like mine, except the buttons of mine are pretty dull with patinas

Yours is sexier … but I always wanted to do this

Ironheart , GoodArt , and 860 pages of Lightning magazine… it doesn’t get any better.

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Awesome to see they are using proper backers vs the old rubber-esque ones.

I had one of these pin back needle snap off, weak.

Did you call them "frogs" when you were in the Navy?

[goosehd]

@Kasi It’s a pretty easy fix that most jewelry stores should be able to repair. Shouldn’t take them more than a few minutes and should be relatively cheap to do.

[goosehd]

@seawolf I sure did…

When I received my first medal, the second class made sure that it would never fall off. He put the ribbon on my shirt sans frogs and gave it a good tap to make sure it was properly embedded…

Then there was the time I made Petty Officer…my arm was black for a week.

Don’t know if those traditions still exist though.

@goosehd

Then I brought another one. It fell off never found it.

This is only good art I lost.

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Didn’t take long to find a home….

@labrat holy shit

@goosehd They exist, but only behind closed doors with only the most trusted shipmates. It's absolutely hazing and can land you in a lot of trouble, but it definitely still happens. I remember seeing that sort of thing happening in my early days, but as I earned more seniority, either it wasn't happening anymore, or the more junior personnel were hiding it from me.

[goosehd]

@seawolf how about wog’s and back’s? Still a thing?

I never crossed the equator, but I am an “Airborne Ice Worm” for crossing the Arctic Circle…

[seawolf]

@goosehd Oh, it's still a thing, wog.

It's all sanctioned and scripted now, but still a blast to become a shellback. I'm also a Golden Dragon for crossing the international dateline.
