They were going on long before I joined up and will still be going on to this day. That was the best ship and crew that I ever had in my seven years in the navy. We worked hard and played hard.

NorthernJambo Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Apparently someone had to writhe on a wet dance floor at a pub crawl of internet strangers, or some such. Probably more soul destroying as drinking your mates pish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acting rather than being acted upon. Now see, I have no problem with the concept of a rite of passage in order to gain access to an elite group, whether that be a sports team, military unit or even just adulthood. Acts of bravery, physical ability, religious ceremony or demonstration of some skill seem perfectly appropriate when there's a need to prove that you're 'worthy.' I just find it interesting that so...so often these initiations take the form of sexual humiliation. Who thinks these things up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I've joined an over 50's club where you have to post a jobby to some guy in Dundee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a guy I know who'd been in the engineers telling me about a game they used to play in the aptly named mess somewhere in Germany a while back. Basically get a round in with one pint too many. Somebody curls one out in the extra pint , everybody does their pint in a oner. Last one to finish has to neck the jobby-befouled one as well. I can see why they started a charity called Help for Heroes - some of them fucking need it. Could be worse. Could be forced to drink Fosters.
