**** Alabama 52 vs Tennessee 24 final score ****

Don't let him fool you @LyquidMetal , he probably worked in the JIiC, or at least pretended to so he could get chow passes too lol

Actually the only time I did some shifts there was during the Achille Lauro hijacking. When Delta Force came aboard, I was involved in the planning to take the ship. I had a midrats pass for about a week.

Ahh, you got but just a small taste of heaven. I won't tell you about the Chief's mess from my last float.......
 
I did....was much smaller than the Shellback certificate and was a pretty lame ceremony compared to Shellback.

All my certificates I got from the Navy (Shellback, Order of the Rock for going thru the straits of Gibralter, Order of the Ditch for the Suez) were all huge parchment type paper and very artful. Then the Bluenose was on like an 8 1/2x11 paper and looked cheesy lol
 
I got the blue nose, not shell back.

Our "ceremony" was putting on a black tie (boot lace tied around our necks) and PT shorts and boots and that's all....running across the flight deck while they hosed us down with sea water and then running to a guy who slapped blue paint/dye on our noses. Took all of 5 mins or less.......
