Equator

If it is even 10% of what the Navy was like, you'll definitely want to pack throw away clothes.

 

IMHO only, if you don't go through the ceremony you aren't a shellback.

 

For those who care:

Equator = Shellback

Dateline = Golden Dragon

Equator & Dateline at same time = Golden Shellback

Equator & Prime Meridian at same time = Emerald Shellback

Arctic Circle = Bluenose

And there are more.

 

A trusty shellback since 1973...

 

I will remember this as, one of these days, my wife and I will need the knowledge. We will pack old shorts and tee shirts that can be trashed.
