Turtle Club

What is Turtle Club?


1.

A drinking "club" that U. S. Sailors from the USS Midway (CVA-41), around 1964-5, in a bar across from Ft. DeRussy in Honolulu, Hawaiia, used to try to get free drinks.

New initiates had to answer some seemingly off-color questions. The only question I can remember is shown below in the example.

We sailors would initiate a bar server, preferably a young female who could still blush, because of the number one rule for members. If asked publicly if one is a Turtle, the member MUST answer, "You bet your sweet ass I am!" Failure to do so would be penalized with having to buy all members present a drink.

Turtle Club Initiation question: "Name a four-lettered word for intercourse." Answer: Talk!
