Old salt
An "
old salt" in the

naval services is often a raconteur, or teller of
sea stories. Much of the
history and traditions of the naval services are passed from generation to generation of service members by these sea stories as told and retold by old salts. Sea stories may be
truthful, half-truths, or falsehoods. However, they always enhance the reputations of naval and
Marine units, or individuals.
