A video from my second to last command on my very last deployment. I am not in it, and I didnt pick the song. LOL

[Guest mustangdave]

Did I spy a group of WOGGIES in that video? What ship was this?

Woogies? Dont know that one, however that was Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron-8 onboard the USS CARL VINSON CVN 70

[Guest GT_Rat]

Polliwogs = those who have not sailed across the equator.

Shellbacks = those who have.

There's a big initiation.

Didn't get the opportunity myself.

[Guest mustangdave]

GT RAT knows the score...sorry you weren't afforded the opportunity...

[Guest GT_Rat]

CO tried during Desert Storm but never could get the authorization.

[buck1032]

In my 20 years in, I never heard WOGS called Woogies. Different time, I guess. I earned my Shellback card in 87 onboard the USS RANGER CV-61. What passes as WOG initiation now, isnt. I stopped playing when on my 94 deployement onboard the USS CROMMELIN FFG-37, the initiation was the WOGS held a Steel Beack for the Shellbacks. And yes they got thier cards and cert's. Lame.... LOL

[Guest GT_Rat]

That definitely doesn't fit the stories I've heard of initiations either. Pretty lame. I did boot in 88 and was on USS Nassau 89-91.

[Guest mustangdave]

you guys made me recheck my spelling...I wrote WOGGIES as in a group of slimey nasty WOGS or POLLYWOGS. got my Shellback card in 1980 on board USS EISENHOWER CVN-69....my last initiation ceremony was in 1988 onboard USS NEW ORLEANS LPH-11...man was it FUN initiating MARINES...some 8-900 of em, my shelaylee swinging arm was TIRED

[Guest SureShot308]

I never saw anyone make any videos in my time on the ship. Then again I spent all my time below the 2nd deck. I guess I should have gone Air Dale instead, then I might have had time on deployment to do **** like that instead of working for a living.

I never got the chance to get my card. I was east coast the whole time on the CVN 73 USS George Washington. I heard that it was all watered down by the time I came through anyway compared to what it used to be.

Well crap, sorry about that. You had the spelling right, I on the other hand may not be able to read. LOL

[Daniel]

you squids need to stop dancing around the damn thing and tell us what this initiation was supposed to be like.

[Chucktshoes]

Squids making videos? I would have expected it to come out more like this....

Still trying to embed a video :(

[Chucktshoes]

Fixt

[buck1032]

Hey Chuck, If you get a chance and feel up for it, how about telling me how the heck I embed a video. LOL

[Chucktshoes]

You copy the URL of the youtube video (not the embed link) and then insert that using the [link] button in the post options at the top of the post box. I hope that made some sort of sense.

[Guest GT_Rat]

4000 wogs? Wognight had to be hell.
