Thanks for the info. I am surprised that other former Navy members did not respond.

I didn't even know that they had a policy against it! Didn't seem like they had one when we crossed the equator! lol

I painted a sleeping sailors toenails pink one time. Everyone had a huge laugh but I got in a little trouble with my Lt. He said it could be hazing.

hehehaha, whatever

Hazing is more strict now with more females serving. On my equator ritual the higher rankers noted that certain behaviors are forbidded that were earlier accepted.

Here is the current Navy policy on hazing. During the 1960's there was a ritual to initiate sailors in engineering jobs. Without going into details it was not a good thing to have done to you or to do it to another person. I am still trying to find out what the Navy policy on hazing was during the 1960's such as the instruction prohibiting it. Thanks
