The Merkava tank has got to be one of the most coolest looking tanks out there! The 8 came from when I signed up for internet.

Well just Martin plus some n's behind it.....

My username at fora used to be Hunter, inspired by the awesome creatures in the game Halo, and because I always liked to hunt down other people in online first person shooters on my pc :-)

But there were so many hunters already.....I just called myself Martinnnn

I've been using this screen name for several years on various message boards, starting with a bunch of paintball-oriented ones.

It's derived from an Apache pilot's call sign from the first Gulf War. I've also always had a fascination with the American Old West. It just kinda felt right.

I've tempted to switch to something else, but it's too well established for me and I'm far from creative when it comes to cool screen names.

HILBERT = Hilbert Zuijdendorp.

Just my own name.
And why is it with capitals? becouse caps was on

Hmmmm, TacFireGuru...... Tac (Tactical) Fire (Fire Direction)....U.S. Army Field Artillery. 13C Tacfire Operations Specialist. The "Brains" of the Artillery!
Oh, "Guru." Not to toot my own horn, but in my 10+ years in Germany I was probably one of the top 3 13C's over there during (and after) the Cold War.

King of Battle Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. Better than the nickname I got in Bosnia (Bowsermonkey - which happens to be my eBay ID).

watched as child mad max 2 and that was it. i fell in love with the cars (thats why i bought a 88' 7.2 camaro iroc z28 and build it up in madmax style:) ) and as i played a pc game which required entering a nick that was the first which crossed my mind

FN C1 was the service rifle I carried for most of my career. (Until we changed to the Diemaco C7). I liked it so much for its power, robustness, and reliability I bought my own and started using it at work instead of the one issued to me by HM. This led to an interesting scene one day as the company commander, my platoon commander, and CSM all knew I carried my own personal rifle....but I had never told the RSM! When he saw me putting it in the trunk of my car along with my webbing one day I suddenly had 120 kilos of screaming redfaced Regimental Sergeant Major decend on me like the wrath of well.........HIMSELF! (everyone knows that R.S.M. is spelled G.O.D.) I had to point out the seriel number which did not match a CF one even remotely to avoid having the meatheads called to haul me off. I think my ears stayed red for a week.`

I've got American Indian friends out in the Tetons I used to build cable t.v. systems with when I was younger back in the early-mid 70's. Nobody talked to them much or hung out with them but being young I thought they were cool, stoic, never had much to say and when they did it was always concise, to the point and made sense never any b.s. Well after awile they started to accept me in their clique and nicknamed me little Cheyenne [ 6'3'' 200lbs] I always had a pet dog with me wherever I went and they told me to name him Cheyenne [ Indian humor the 40lb. dog they called Cheyenne me they called little Cheyenne]. To this day currently a 100lb Yellow Lab and all my past dogs have been named Cheyenne. My wife and I even named our first born daughter Montana because out of all the states I've built cable T.V. in that was the most beautiful, then named my second born son Jake Dalton and rightly so because he's trouble- just kidding , I hope, hes only 7. -Cheyenne

Mine's easy - I'm a Sergeant First Class in the Indiana Army National Guard (Full time, not a weekender).

Mine's a no brainer. t(for Tom) hathaway, and the 3 is because I'm actually TC III. And yes my dad was TC, Jr. and yes my son is TC IV.

Tacky, I know, but it's a southern thing.

Please tell me you're at least 18. Bravo!

Mine came from the fact that like 99.99% of the members of the Canadian Army, I've spent time on UN peacekeeping duty. In my case, Egypt with time in Israel and Lebanon.

Compared to some of you sickos out there I'm pretty boring. Comes from a ska song by the Specials. "Message to Rudy"

Pretty unimaginative here : creading= Charles Reading
Mainly because I would forget anything else!

I chose mine because I have always had an interest in Norse mythology and runes- that, and "Hammer of the Gods" was too long- got that from a Zeppelin Song (In my signature) :-)

I was born and raised in the swamps of Northern Louisiana by a father who raised American Foxhounds. I just sort of got creative and came up with the bastardized-German name Sumpfhund. It seemed to fit...

95 Bravo was the MOS designation for the Military Police, which I was, way back when Germany was still east and west.

Crackshot53 because one of my hunting buddies told me after one hunt that I "could kill a duck with both eyes shut". Being a Yankee fan, two of the greatest Yankees of all time were Joe Dimaggio (5) and Babe Ruth (3) Hence, Crackshot53.

i got mine in the last century, in 1970, while i was taking my southeast asian tour, from my squadmembers. being from alabama, and of course having a confederate flag on my track[ acav ], i was called rebelsoldier.

it has stuck and i use it netwide whereever i go..

Mine's a no brainer to. zoomie was my call sign in the military and yes I'm 50 years old.

I firts wanted to use Paul, but that was taken. Than I decided I wanted a screen name with had a very 'low number' for that would mean my pictures were shown very first in the membergallery because of the order/sequence used. Duh!

So it became 007 because:
- it was a low number
- it's a secret agent everybody knows (nice contradictio in termus!)
- it was the Tiger tank Wittmann was killed in (link to AFV WW2 modelling)
- it's short and easy to remeber


During the months on Armorama, I wsihed I had given it more thought and come up with something more original...

Paul

Hello everybody!

TedMamere stands for "Tête de ma mère!" and is a "jeu de mot" in french. It would translate in "by the head of my mother!" in english.
It's a sentence I say when I mess up something! Especially when I let a tiny part of a kit fall on the grey painted floor in my basement (good color to find grey plastic parts isn't it!?)

A while back my friend, who was a car nut, purchased some things for his car from a german company by the name of Razo.
I liked that name and wanted just Razo as my name when I was signing up for some other online forum but it was already taken (go figure). I through a military title in front of it and voila!

I've used it ever since.

Well,

whenn in the US as an exchage-student I became a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. When I first needed to sign up for anything (in this case an Eagles MB, I chose the name Dutch (as my nationality) and bird (being an Eaglesfan). So this became Dutchbird.

I have used this nick by far the most of the time ever since.

Shortly afterwards I realized I was the only male using that nick on ICQ
