Meanings of display names and signitures

[Major_Chuck]

Major Chuck

Nothing original there.  I tried CAP Safety Dude for a while when I was active in that field.

Call sign here at the hospital is "Major"...fixing to change that to 'Sarge' when my NG promotion becomes official.

No real nicknames outside of "Cran" when I was in the service. 

[Johnny Yuma]

The lonely Rebel searching for inner peace throughout the land, righting wrongs and fighting injustice anywhereits found.

I'm also pretty handy with a shotgun, too.

[LTC_Gadget]

I used to fly the majority of my missions/practices with the heads from the Wg Ops shop, and traveled extensively with the wing/region commander.  When a new pilot/flying gadget, pilot aid, tech toy, computer gadget, etc., would come out, I'd usually acquire one.  I was young, single, and used discretionary funds for toys instead of retirement..  So, the DO started calling me "Gadget."  I'd get in the airplane with one/many of them, and they'd ask "What new toy have you got today, Gadget?"

Before everyone was persnickety about what was on the leather badges, I used to have one that had "Gadget" on *it* as well.  I wouldn't try it now for fear someone would probably 2B me, ferpetessake!

My current .sig line is a personal quote.  It'll change as my mood and what I want to say are affected.

V/R,

I too am a bit of gadget guy, but with gear.  Military gear as it relates to my military job (air national guard), with my civilian job as a cop, or with ground team gear.  From radio headsets to GPS's to tac lights for my pistol, I've got to have it. 

I've been called a "Gear Queer" more than once.  But I'd never use that as my user name 

[CadetProgramGuy]

I could use a whole range of nicknames given to me during my tenure in the Iowa Wing.

Wing Tip - For those of you that don't know, just to suffice, airplanes do get hanger rashes..........

Jimmy - My former CC started to call me that....It stuck like a bad habit.  It is my name to the "inner-circle" of friends.  Well ok if you are in CAP, you can call me Jimmy......

CadetProgramGuy is the name I came up with because I run the CP.  I was teaching a CP portion of our OTS and a new officer said he wanted to talk to the "Cadet Program Guy".

Thanks!!

Jimmy

My lightsaber is pretty handy too.

[Sgt. Savage]

Humm.  Sgt. = My Rank, Savage = My Last Name

Consequently, like most of us ex-Army guys, I'm real creative. I was so much so as a kid that I named my Stuffed bear, "Beary", my pig, " Piggy", my lamb, "Lamby", and my dog, "Puppy". My son has that same creative flair.

My signature is was the Crest of the 75th Infantry Regiment, U S Army Rangers, with whom I am honored to have served. I change these things all the time.

My saber is bigger than your saber

[brasda91]

Mine is combination of two organizations.

1. My CAP call-sign used to be KYCAP 191.
2. I was a member of the Barren River Area Search Dog Assoc. (BRASDA).  And I used the number 91 as my call-sign with them, hence brasda91.

[ColonelJack]

My saber is bigger than your saber

Sounds like a BAD case of lightsaber envy to me ...

Nah, just arrogance of a Saber master

[RogueLeader]

Here's your new chance, new members to brag about your display name.

[SKYKING607]

"SKYKING" from the old TV series.....    The "607" comes from my old CAP radio call sign.

CAWG went from BlackBear (mobile) BrownBear (air) WhiteBear (base) to
Eagle and now to Yosemite.  What next?.....Joshua Tree?.....Maybe Mojave?

[sandman]

Sandman: I use chemicals to paralyze people and put them to sleep, then I get to wake them up later with more chemicals

[SAR-EMT1]

You're a Medical type Sir? ... sheesh, and all this time I thought that was a surface warfare badge on your Portal Persons' Uniform.

How was The Asian Scene?

[RogueLeader]

Bump again:
Hiya new folks
Here's your chance to tell us about yourself.  If you read the past few pages of this thread, you will find out about some of us.

[_]

The Bayhawk is the mascot of my original squadron, Bayshore Composite Squadron, NER-NJ-067.  No one really paid all that much attention to it but I liked it so I adopted it.  I was a bayhawk not the bayhawk so I needed some way to indicate that so I included the number 21 which is my birth date.

Below is a paint job I did on my headset of the Bayhawk.

[Camas]

Camas = named after a wildflower that grows here in the Pacific Northwest.  I just like native plants I guess.  Nothing imaginative other than that.

[Skyray]

My screen name is taken from the antique fighter plane that was the first operational aircraft I flew back in the early '60s: the Douglas F4D Skyray.  Over the years it has gotten me a number of contacts with Skyray pilots, some of whom are old squadron mates.  It is so little remembered these days that I had to have a model built so I can show people what I am talking about--most of them jump to the conclusion that I am talking about the Douglas Skyhawk, a totally different bird.
