Hey everybody,
I tried searching for some info on this and can't find much. I keep coming up with stuff about Naval Wetting Down traditions but can't really find anything for the Marine side except that it's a party.
Basically, we're throwing a joint wetting down for the commissioning class of our NROTC program and we're trying to bring in some traditions (aside from throwing people in a body of water or physically "wetting" them down) to make it what it's supposed to be rather than just a party.
For the Navy there are several traditions such taking your commissioning certificate (a copy now days), making a cup out of it and toasting, or taking the gold lace used on the SDB's and soaking them in a pint glass of seawater to help make them look older so you don't look like such a newly commissioned officer, etc.
What kinds of traditions do the Marines have for newly commissioned 2ND LT's that we could integrate into this wetting down?
Thanks.
