Meaning of your call sign

[The Warrior]

Indeed. They did an Apocalypse Now-style scene with clothing magnate J. Peterman. The horror...

Ah, watched one episode of Seinfeld. Never cared for it.

 

[KingMC]

Last name and first initials, really boring but easily memorized and doubles as a hint that I may be a decent rapper (I'm not).

 

[Tanker 1/66]

Ah, watched one episode of Seinfeld. Never cared for it.

I took some getting used to at first. But my second wife loved it so I got to watching it. Once you learned the characters. I was quite funny

My wife loved it. She's from New York, so perhaps it made more sense to her, haha.

That said, I never cared for Jerry Seinfeld that much. I never thought he was that funny.

I was in the U.S. Navy from 1985-89. I was the third biggest guy on our crew of about twenty.

My nickname became 'orca' during one of our deployments. That combined with the years of my enlistment became the screen name I use for any forum or discussion group I join. (Except for SASS. I'm 'pineboxdirtnap' on that forum.)

[NJBillK]

I always try to figure out call signs. Sometimes they are quite obvious and others well ?????

Would you consider mine obvious?
My name is Bill K. and I am from NJ.


Thank you for your service.

Thank you for yourbravo service.

I kinda got that one but hey you never know. I think the best one i figured out a few months ago was @1066vik. I thought id figured out 91bravo but i used the old mos military and not the new mos. I thought he was a wheeled vehicle mechanic he was a combat medic. Hey they both fix broken tore up things.

SASS = Single-Action Shooting Society. Edited to add: They encourage users to have creative wild west themed screen names. In a fit (seizure?) Of creativity, I came up with pineboxdirtnap. All the other good names were taken, dang it.

I have two replica black powder revolvers, a Colt 1860 Army made by Uberti, and an 1858 Remington New Army made by Pietta.

They're cleaned & oiled once a month, but I haven't shot them in a while. I think it's time to go to the range and get dirty.

You got it backwards battle buddy. The old MOS designator of 91bravo was the combat field medic, which I was. The new MOS is the now current wheeled mechanic. What was the MOS of the tankers? I think it's 13 or 18?

[zzyzzogeton]

Mine came about when I tried to register on some on-line site back in the late 90s. Everything I tried was already taken. I finally remembered that the last word in the 1913 Webster's International Dictionary was "zyzzogeton", which is a green bug in the Amazon. My last name starts with a "z", so I combined the 2 for zzyzzogeton.

And here is what a zyzzogeton looks like.
