What is the Navy tradition with crewmen crossing over the equator for
the first time on a ship? *They showed it on the PBS "Carrier"
series.........something about polywogs.

After all the humiliating probing, and debauchery, you get a

In the Army, 'frocked' means one is allowed to wear a rank insignia which
he's not legitimately earned, yet. For example, a Major may be selected for
Lieutenant Colonel, but be a few hundred down the list for promotion. His
promotion may not occur for several months. But the Army may want him to
command a Battalion, which is a Lieutenant Colonel's job. He may be
'frocked' (i.e., pin the silver leaves on) so he will at least 'look' like
a Battalion Commander.
