Retired U.S. Navy Veteran Exposes the Dark Side of Shellback Initiation: A Harrowing Tale of Hazing, PTSD, and Lifelong Fallout | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hᴏft

In a gripping account, retired Navy veteran Robert Graham reveals the haunting aftermath of Shellback Initiation hazing, shedding light on its devastating impact on mental health and career.

IMO it's all in good fun and permanent damage is an accident incredibly rare. I especially appreciated bobbing for snickers in a commode filled with lemonade, and having my breakfast thrown at me. When I had to eat an olive out of the bellybutton of the fattest fatass on the boat I got accused on biting the Royal Baby, and got cuffed a little, but never stopped laughing. The only thing that actually sucked a little was crawling on nonskid. I crossed on a small ship, I imagine that on a carrier their ceremony is about 50% speed of the small boats with less than 200 aboard.

In short this "whistle blower" faggot makes me sick. Faggots like this should be rooted out in bootcamp. Hegseth can't take charge fast enough.

Yeah you can’t trust a guy like that

What a homo tradition.

Why anyone would want to be subjected to this treatment is beyond me.

Why any man would brag about homo erotic joys also eludes me.

This reads like jailhouse homosexual activity

Glad I was “dirt NAVY”

Is this the "Crossing the Line" (Equator) ceremony? Neptune isn't going to like that....

Exactly. This kind of behavior has nothing to do with operational readiness.

well....in all fairness, it IS the navy.

Well there’s good in it, and bad. Serving two branches you see different examples of hazing. USN getting pinned with a qualification is an awesome achievement giving one a little “recognition” from the crew. Same sort of experiences with USA.

BAD : One junior sailor has his collar bone broken by a monster sized MM (Machinist Mate) from getting the qual “tacked on”. (I was there)
1SG hits a promoted SGT with a HUGE tent spike setting style hammer. Hits the soldier square in the chest. (Not my unit but a big Army unit)


Even more HORRIBLE rash of shit in the Army where people just took shit to the next level REALLY hurting people. Yea, people died cause of it.

GOOD : Unit hazing “ritual” of the E4 Mafia got pretty funny with their antics. For one, The “Don” (senior most E4) would get baby powder to smack people in the face to mark them. They had found a low crawl ditch that would hold water pretty good. People learned how deep it got. We had one serious situation that tamped down the fun for a bit. Nothing too bad in the end.
Unit hazing that actually had people challenging us to “get them”. It’s all fun until the airfield fire truck shows up for the “delousing”. Nothing too bad in the end.
My own promotion in rank and qualification badges getting tacked on. Hurt like hell, but nothing more than some minor punctures.
Pinning Jump wings on my sons chest. He thought I was going to tack them on good. I just gave them a good bump, enough to poke him real good. He said it hurt worse that getting his SGT tacked on by his own unit.


So if someone wants to complain let them. If they can’t carry the water then so be it.

Nothing but bored seaman doing seaman things.

As is always the case, some of these rituals are taken to the extreme, to the extent of causing permanenet damage.
Let's look at the example of "tacking on a crow" in the Navy.
It was originally a solemn duty, welcoming a new shipmate to the newly promoted rank. The senior sailors would obtain a shirt from the soon to be promoted sailor, each of the senior sailors would add a stitch to apply the new chevron "tacking on the crow", then came the short cut of punching the newly promoted sailor in the arm, on his new patch thus "tacking on the crow", it was not unheard of that these sailors would suffer serious injury from what was once an honored tradition of comraderie.

Much like the crossing the line ceremony, yes, I am a Shellback. Our CO, a man blessed with common sense, did not allow any shillelagh's to be used. The shillelagh was made by taking a length of old firehose, cutting the ends lengthwise to make a whip and then whipping the pollywogs. Again, the ancient seafaring ritual was one of fun and merryment, meant to relieve stress from a long voyage, not to hospitalize the participants.

Bloodwings, blood ranks & good old fashioned cherry hazings, good times.

Navy guy I knew who was a Yeoman, called the newer rating of Personellmen “Pussynellmen. Being an Infantry medic, I told him Yeoman was just as bad.

That sailor who is bitching is a pussy, and just couldn't handle it


The buildup to the crossing, is pure hazing and intimidation! Soak those shillelaghs in salt water over and over, makes them real hard. I went through the line twice, and the guy behind me got his nose broke. I crossed in '88

When I went below in ‘73 on the Constellation (CVA-64) there weren’t that many Shellbacks onboard. But the ones that were SB’s seemed to relish the day !!
Worst part was the long canvas garbage chute. They ratholed some nasty shit before you went through….drank some “truth serum” …hot sauce and shaving cream….Kissing the Royal Babies gut all rubbed up in cable grease was gross…period….think they ran out of cherries.. The nonskid left my hands and knees all raw. Got my ass swatted with short fire hose aka Shillelagh a few times. Few bruises here and there.
The high pressure salt water hoses sucked. Burned my eyes bad.
All in All , it was still fun in a Naval way Had two WWll Uncles that went through it , they still carried the wallet sized SB card until they croaked.
Went back across in ‘74 ….was quite a bit more fun being a Shellback. I had a Captain that was a Ships dentist on his hands and knees with a rope collar around his neck. Got quite a few people to piss in padeyes and made him blow the piss out. He was mine to fuck with for a few hours Glad I had no future dental issues. Being a E4 made it ….more fun !
Navy is to touchy feely now , too many woke pussies. Plus the real pussies in the Navy now don’t play that game

Hazing really needs to be done away with, including all the colleges and such.
There is no legitimate reason for it to exist.

 

[502Chevelle]

This hazing is pretty light. Yes it sucks, but it's light. Navy divers can take it to the extreme. Wasn't a SB or Blue Nose, but have hazed and been hazed like nobody's business. It's just part of it. You want to go to war beside someone who can't take a little? What are they going to be like when the real shit hits the fan.

Nah. Hazing has a purpose. It creates a bond amongst the participants. It desensitizes people to violence. It teaches people how to deal with stressful situations.

 

[wvfarrier]

I got my bloodwings and ran the gauntlet. I still look at the scars and smile

 

[502Chevelle]

I had scars on my wrist and forearm for several years from being bitten by a team mate during an “evolution”. Had scars on the other forearm from another team mates Doberman, received when we were packing the shit out of him at a party. No hard feelings. I earned and deserved them. Still good friends with both of them to this day.

 

[Milf Dots]

The festivities really need to be updated- it should be limited to tossing Dems, Rinos, and Illegals overboard.

 

[diggler1833]

I still have a photo somewhere of my nasty wog-ness being cleansed with the fire hose as I was sitting on the foc'sle. That was a really fun day.

When you kill tradition, you kill pride of belonging. When you kill pride of belonging, you encourage complacency and the cancer starts to grow.

Dad told me, he's glad he wasn't on a CV when they crossed.
Brother wasn't so lucky.. .. He said, they saved that shit for a week, made sure it was good and smelly. He said a fat ass passed out in the chute, they had to pull him out. You get hosed off at the end though

 

[fdkay]

I crossed on an MCM, small ship, it stank of that garbage for weeks after.

Damn, how old is that Doberman?

I weighed a buck fifty and had a tough time getting through. The dude in front of me was throwing up all the way. Added fun
