I took my name from the old COMBAT t.v. series. Vic Morrows squads code name was whiterook and there HQs was checkmate charlie.

HastyP is short for the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment. This was a Regiment my cousin served with in WW2. He used to tell me of some of his experiences when I was a kid. The Regiment was with the 1st Canadian Inf Div serving in Italy and NW Europe. Also was one of only a few Canadian units to set foot in France in 1940.

Hasty

Mine is fairly easy also. I am a Ham Radio Operator, hense the callsign Ka2rvu
Fred

I take a lot of grief in the chat room for this name, (i.e. WeWillHold)---because I'm always being asked what I'm holding onto ----its the eternal question (lol).

Anyway, its a carry over from where I work. I do a lot of target shooting and own a number of weapons/ammunition etc. I always tell my coworkers if we ever get invaded by "Them", to come to my house, we'll pass out the weaponery and "We Will Hold"----at which point they look at me strangely and walk away

It seemed a good fit for a military site.


Steve

geez, how these times!!!!! Why don't you just call yourself barracked situation.... LOL.... I always thought it's something sexy....

Learned something new about you today Beermeister! If we ever get invaded by "Them", save a spot on the sofa for me and my Honey

Only for your honey, you are one of "THEM"!

Well Steve is my name and 203 is my bank pin number. OOPS, Ugh I mean. Just kidding, 203 is my call number at work.

Mine is pretty easy.
CT=My initials: Chris Thompson
MI= Michigan, where I live.
911= My job, 911/Police/Fire/EMS Dispatcher (or you can just call me "Radio")

And for Steve203, two-hundreds are the call signs that my department uses also, 203 is our Captain (3rd in line in the chain of command). Except in dispatch, all or ours are seven-hundreds, my Call Sign is 735.

my other (and most expensive) hobby is cars, in my case, Ford Mustangs. I own a 1996 Mustang Cobra. After racing it at a track, one of my friends proclaimed "man, that is one baaaad pony". The bad pony part stuck around :-)

Mine is kind of simple. I love Tiger tanks and 101 is my badge number at work. Funny thing is now that I teach Emergency Medicine the 101 has taken on new meaning.

I'm a production manager for a bottled water company in Chicago= Waterboy

I could have sworn I had replied to this thread...

MLD are my initals
HOC was the Hulbert Outdoor Center where I was working when I first got online almost 10yrs ago now.

At the time MLD was taken as a screenname, as was MLD plus my birthday. MLDHOC was free at the time.

TANK----What did I do in the Army?

CARL-----Me

Andy= Andrew my name

007= I did work for the MI6(I wish #:-) #:-) ) seriously i think i had just finished watching a James Bond movie when I signed on.

Mine comes from my mixed ancestry, American father, English, Cockney, mother. Long ago I was on the history channel's WWII board as halflimey but I lost my password. I had to recreate my name as halfyank. Now it's as much my name as Rodger.

Torque was the nickname I got when I was in USAF pilot training almost 20 yrs ago.

For me, it was easy. Ever since I worked in a reasearch Physical Chemistry Lab as the Chemical Engineer, undergrads were always coming up to me with a need of answers. After this, 10 years within a Level 3 Bio-Tech facility and a welth of chemical and health/safety info under the belt, the term "See Dave...." became standard.

Hence, first letter of last and full first, you get "Cdave".

Just the thing you need for checmical, biological, Russian Armor and of course beer (where I work now!).

Dave

George S Patton - As a History Major I studied primarily American 20th Century History. Patton has always fascinated me. Brilliant and profane in one package. The George C Scott movie is still one of my favorites. So for me it was old, "Blood n' Guts."

I love the plane EA6B and love surfing for tips and tech sites
and a catchy name

Mine is also one of the easy ones: Adam Vukich.

Mine is ancient. Someday in highschool a fiend started to call me bep for no particular reason. It has been my nickname since. I even called my dog bep and my email begins with it.
As for the picture : this is the shield fotr the Province Limburg in Belgium where I live. But I guess you have to be Belgian to understand this. (Is it not Eagle?)
Cheerz,

Based out of New England, I travel over 100,000 miles in the air every year - most of it for meetings with business partners and sometimes just to catch up with old friends. I'll also go to places on a whim - like the D-Day museum in New Orleans or the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia - hence great voyager, or GR8Voyager.

During the summer though, my main mode of voyage is my motorcycle - a beautiful BMW bike that still is fun to ride after all these years. If you happen to be in Massachusetts, NH or Maine and see a blue bimmer in your rear view mirror approaching quickly in the passing lane, flash your lights - it's probably me!

GR8Voyager

Mine requires a little bit of explanation too... "Mika" was deemed too difficult to pronounce / remember / whatever in school, so it was shortened to "Meeks" (As in I shall inherit the earth - so be nice to me!). My sense of humor is at times ... odd, so it was prepended with Mad at the same time. When the movie "Mad Max" came out, the spelling was altered, and it has remained "Mad Meex" for some 20+ years now.
