29 years ago the Engineering Department off of the USS-Hewitt DD-966 had a similar party while we were in the Philippines. We each paid, as my memory serves me, $10 each. In return, the bar prepared this HUGE buffet of food and all of our drinks were free for the day. There was also names drawn from a hat for... well, you Navy guys know... No 'fast ones' were pulled here but a GREAT time was had by all!!! I am the guy on the far right in the red shirt. And no, this picture is not rotated, this is how we were in that part of the world!
Speaking about being arrested now... how about the way the 'crossing the equator' ceremonies used to be!!!
