Meanings of display names and signitures

[CAPLAW]

CAPLAW, I am a Law Enforcement, affiliated with an agency in Florida. CAPLAW just came to mind.

And no, its not TP folks

[Viper QA]

I am really not a person who has ever put much thought into any user ID. I usually just use some combintation of my name & some numbers that are significant to me.

My user ID here on CAP Talk is what I do for a living. I am currently working for the DoD as an Avionics specialist; assigned as a Quality Assurance Inspector. Hence, Viper QA.

My given name is John. As far as nick names go, most of my friends & co-workers call me JJ or Jay.

I haven't gotten around to a signature line yet.

[CAPLAW]

Viper, they call me Jay as well or JJ The jet plane

[aveighter]

As and old Marine 0311 I couldn't spell but was smart enough to quit walking.

[Walkman]

In high school, someone once hollered "Hey Walk-Man" (my last name being Walker). Just kinda stuck. Been using it (or a variant thereof) online for years.

[Lancer]

I decide to change my display name from mlcurtis69 to Lancer.

My middle name is Lance.  I've used Lancer as a nickname/handle on other boards and back in the day's of CB radio use. No I  don't drive a Mitsubishi Lancer, although the 2008 model is pretty sharp. 

Just felt it was time to do something different here.

[ELTHunter]

ELTHunter......pretty self explanatory if you're in CAP

[♠SARKID♠]

SARKID - Search and Rescue Kid (obviously).  Its what I have on my fancy-dancy-specialized-vanity CAP license plates

I used to own a 1986 Dodge Lancer...we simply called it (we name our vehicles) THE LANCER.  I sold it years ago...you don't own it do you?

[Major Carrales]

Thus, my current "given" nickname is actually... "Major Carrales" or just "MajorCarr."

So, Joe, where does "Sparky" come from?

"Sparky" was my attempt to see if I could create a "nickname" based on a comment about a pic of me with a service cap on that someone started with..."hold on there sparky."  It never caught on.

If you say so Sparky, Sir

By the way, SPARKY seems to have caught on.

MAJOR J.E. "SPARKY" CARRALES as a COMIC BOOK CHARACTER.  By the way, the quote about a female National Commander came long before that was even thought possible/probable.

[♠SARKID♠]

^Wow, add progressions and you'd have a darn good rotoscope!

[AlphaSigOU]

I'm a Freemason, that's where mine came from.

You are a traveling man, I presume?

[NEBoom]

Sparky,
I just want to know where you got the CAP B-25.  I want one!

Don't know if I ever replied to this before, but NEBoom comes from the fact that I was one of the "charter" boom operators in the Nebraska ANG when we transitioned over to the KC-135R.  So it's a contraction of Nebraska Boom (Boom operators are called "Boom" on the interphone all the time, as in, "Hey Boom, bring me my lunch...").

[BlueLakes1]

Mine's nothing creative. INWG uses "Redfire" as it's callsign, and the DO is "Redfire 11".

No, but I wouldn't mind owning a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer.

If you had bought the new CAP History book (p. 78 has a photo) you would know that CAP did have a B-25 in its inventory (the largest aircraft ever to carry the CAP insignia).  Also apparently had some C-47s and Beech C-47s.

Beech C-45, maybe?

[BillB]

The Air Force assigned C-45's and C-47's to the CAP Region Liaison Officers.  Southeast Region for example had a C-47.  I heard that there was a C-46 assigned to Pacific Region since is was used in mountainous areas which made it better than the C-47.
