I tried to add you as a friend on Battlelog and it turned me down with this note: jsimpson32 is only sharing this with friends.

I have no issue adding other friends, you are only one. It also clearly says oldgunney is only sharing info with friends on your battlelog page. Perhaps you have dialed up your setting to high on security. I've added three friends in the last week with no issue, one today.
 
Homer, we have been friends on Origin right after you sat in your tank as a gunner. Must be a glitch since I know that Stryker and Wiz are both on my friends list in Origin and BattleLog, but your name doesnt show up. Tell you what, I'll delete you as a friend on Origin and see if you can re-friend me that way.

Shiryu, it is in the Navy tradition that all sailors first time crossing the equator go through an initiation. Goes somewhat like this:

How to Perform a Line Crossing Ceremony
Each ship might have their own traditions and nuances, but the fundamental structure goes something like this:

King Neptune and his royal court: his queen, Davy Jones, the royal baby, and other dignitaries, arrive to the ship the evening prior to the equator crossing.
Pollywogs entertain the royal court with a talent show. Dancing, song, skits or poetry count among the merriment.

After the show, Pollywogs receive a subpoena from Davy Jones to stand before the court the next day and answer to charges brought against them by the Shellbacks.

After breakfast, which is made too spicy for the Pollywogs to eat, the accused appear before King Neptune, who sits in judgment. They perform a variety of activities which might involve wearing their clothes inside out or backwards and crawling across the deck through objectionable debris, often the uneatable breakfast that was served to the Pollywogs.

Next, the Pollywogs kneel before the King and kiss the royal baby’s belly, which according to some accounts is covered in grease.

Lastly, the Pollywogs take a royal bath in a pool of sea water before being declared Shellbacks, after which they receive their certificates, which they can proudly hang on their wall at home.

Oh my lord, sounds so amazing and honorable... the initiation if I understand correctly, and the brotherhood at it's best, correct?
