I get the feeling that I've missed the boat a bit with mine.....god it's so boring..... Jim B. Rae =jimbrae. Sophisticated or what? Jim

I picked mine because I smoke a pipe. And Jim was kind enough to modify my avatar to reflect this. Plus, a pair of glasses on my avatar and you have a pretty good likeness of me. LOL....

M60A3 is the type of tank I operated on mostly as an Armor Officer.

I got the nickname Gunner 20 years ago after winning a case of beer for my Plt. in a MG competition, and the K19 was my fire dept. roster number; It's also my MOS reversed (19K- M1 tanker)...

and that's the rest of the story

Blame my Mother,hey Jim,i thought with your screen name, you were a hill climber.LOL!

Well, let's see. Considering Selrach is my husband, mrs_selrach just sorta fit, being married n all. My chatroom nickname is plastic_widow, and Sel came up with that, and I liked it, so I use it for my chatroom nickname. That's pretty much it for me.

1.Graywolf is my favorite endangered animal
2.Graywolf has a big role in Turkish history during the migration from middle asia to anatolia by showing people the way but this is policitally abused in Turkey nowadays and I dont use my nick that way.

Mine "MANCHU 34" comes from my callsign I used when CEOIs weren't needed. Manchu came from my US Army Infantry Regiment afflication the 9 US Infantry Regiment. One of the most decerated Infantrty regiments in the US Army. 34 was the bumper number for the vehicle(s) I commanded through 4 differant battalions and nearly 9 years.

Why Hollowpoint? Maybe because my head is pointy and empty? #:-)

Actually, when I joined Armorama many moons ago, I was sulking for missing deer hunting that fall. Hollowpoints are some of my favorite hunting ammunition (and a bit catchier than "Nosler Partition").

Mine is as simple as my call sign as a Company Commander years ago.

I chose mine based on one of my favorite movies, "Kelly's Heroes". I tried to pick "Oddball first but someone had it, then I tried Kelley (spelled with an "e" so it would be a little different) and it worked. So there ya' go.

I study a pile of martial arts (12 to be exact) and as such, my friends gave me the nickname Grasshopper. Back in the early AOL days, the SN Grasshopper was taken, so I dropped the last two letters and added 12 as place holders more than anything else.

Well mine's pretty easy. I was the Honorary First Sow of DSB Hence SOW1 (++) (++) (++)

I chose mine after my favorite Superman villian General Zod He has the same powers as that idiot Superman,but he is an evil version of him #:-)

Mine is:

Chip- My name

250- Its easy to remember

So Chip250 is born of those two things. Nothing grand I must even admit.

~Chip (:-)

Started at TankNet where I registered as Gennady I. Beregovoy. For the sake of consistency (since some others I know at TankNet are also at other discussion boards - like Jacques and The Swede [or was it Steelspear?] who are here) I use GIBeregovoy (GI to shorten the Gennady I. part). I'm also registered at the Steelbeasts fan site. Now, as to why I chose it as my nom de guerre, I have to kill you if I told you. #:-)
