Old Salt is a nautical term for a "genuine" kind of a person, as a sailor or someone with many years of sailing experience. An "old salt" is often a raconteur, or teller of sea stories, passing down the history and traditions of mariners to successive generations.
In the United States Navy, the "Old Salt" is a title passed to the longest-serving Surface Warfare Officer on active duty. The award, currently held by Admiral Kurt W. Tidd, Commander, U.S. Southern Command, honors the officer with the earliest standing SWO qualification.
