In the video below, you can see a prank that’s both funny and would be impossible to pull off today. As Tyler Rogoway of Foxtrot Alpha said, “It probably would never happen in these modern military times.”
It is nearly unthinkable pulling off such a stunt today. Not only would the Navy conduct a months-long investigation, after which heads would probably roll, but PETA would also not be to happy. All this adds up to attention that the Navy will clearly tell you they don’t need.
Times have really changed in the Navy. It is a far more “corporate force” than it was in its past. The Tailhook scandal and other embarrassing events have diluted the Navy’s frat-boy culture …
Is the drastic change in the military a product of the times or the government slowly dismantling its forces? While certain branches of the armed forces are in no short supply of the “frat-boy culture” it seems disrespectful to take away a welcome distraction from the brave men and women who are out there putting their lives on the line for their country.

An old tradition when a the newly deployed ship relieves the ship already on station. There is no harm to the pig but with all the political correctness going on, I’m surprised this made it on face book. Same on you real sailors!
