    Cool! I have never seen a shellback hat! Only got a certificate in the merchant marines back in 2001 when I crossed the line.

    We got lucky and did the date line same time when I crossed the first time. Didn’t stay in long enough to do anymore ship deployments

    1st things 1st - Thank you for your service!

    Where did you get the hat from and do you know if they have blue nose hats? I did some time under the polar ice cap up north way back when. While I wanted to go south of the equator I never got there.
