The story goes like this. In Dec of 1967 we were short of cooks and bakers for the bBn.. Mess Hall. I got pick as a tempory baker till replacements arrived. Well I drove the units recovery vehicle and water truck and at night I woud hang out in the mess hall and help Big "Red" our night baker with cooking and serving the mid night chow. Anyways The brass put me in the chow hall as a night baker. I got stuck in there for 2 and 1/2 months. Replacements had arrived after only three weeks but the Bn. Commander liked my baking so he would not let me return to my regular duty. Thats where the "chocolate cake" comes in. The Bn. Commander liked chocolate cake and asked the mess Sgt to bake him up a special three layer for a "party he wanted to throw for some other brass. I was tasked with said cake. I had a friend over at the Evac Hospital who at times would get me some things that I might need. Well I got the "Chocolate" (Exlax) to use in the cake. I figured if he would not let me out of the chow hall then I would have him remember me in a big way. Well to make a long story short He ate most of the cake himself and as you might guess he ended up with a very bad case of you know what. He had to go to the hospital for a few days. When he returned he was a little ticked at me and well I got busted, but I got out of the chow hall. As Paul Harvey used to say "And thats the rest of the story" "Good Day"...PS. I gained a new found respect for all the guys who were cooks and bakers over there. They worked very long hours to keep the troops fed and happy.

Mine is simple, garrybeebe. Garry Beebe thats my name! I wish I would have picked a
screen name but its to late now.
I would have used *Mountian man* , that is where I have spent a lot of my time in the
State of Oregon. Or Grizz to keep it short ! LOL

Cheers mates,
Garry

I wanted gwaihir (the lord of the eagles from Tolkien), but it wouldn't let me have it, so I chose a name I had used to play chess on yahoo.

Must of missed this one!!
Well the name sgtreef Highest rank in Army and I use to have saltwater Aquarium.
To be exact a REEF TANK so sgtreef .
A lot of folks allways head for the drug thing

sgtreef,
I have had a Reef aquarium for over 3 yrs. Most of my 75 gal.Oceanic tank is stocked with hard corals.You wanna talk about an expensive hobby.

My screen name means nothing more than: Be afraid be very afraid

Hi all,
I chose Pak40 because not is it only my favorite AT gun, it is also the most used AT gun by the Wehrmacht. I like to be useful and I consider myself slightly different from other modellers. If you can figure out what that means you are better than me.

Chris- SS Oberscharfuhrer wannabe

When I started back into this hobby I kind of related it to playing with toys when I was younger. I used to have an area outside which was my favorite and referred to it as my 'sandbox'. Now that I am serious about this habit...hobby, I can see that was a false first impression to have of this past time.

Hi Everyone and a Happy New Year

Well, my screen name's dead boring. My full name's Simon Roy Williams (the Roy doesn't get used much) so I just use simonrw

well im a brit, and im great #:-)

simple as!

cheers

joe

Well, I'm from. Guess where :-)
I also did one week of job rotation with Irishbat when I was in Lebanon in -91 and they started to call me Swede and when this Internet thing came along and I needed a screen name I thought it was cool.
Another thing for you Clint Eastwood fans. I'm 195 cm tall and weighs 115kg :-) (Heartbreak ridge)

The Swede

LOL, that's the first thought I had when I saw you screen name.

I guess I get to post twice since my first post no longer applies. Steve (WeWillHold) got tired of me preaching about the Abrams all the time so he started calling me Brother Abrams, then a few others picked up on it and it stuck so I had Jim change my screen name.

Rob

Any guy that has a 1:1 Abrams as a front lawn ornament ---- deserves this screen name!!!!


ps: Brother Abrams is "Da Abrams god" ---- he is good -- very -- very---good! :-)

Steve

Petro: first 5 letters of my last name.

I am the proud son of a Purple Heart Vietnam Veteran, hence SonOfAVet

Hip Priest is an early alter ego of Mark E Smith, lead singer of one of my fave bands, The Fall.

Another boring one I'm sorry ...........

Ant short for Anthony (never call me Tony, you won't like me when I'm angry ), Phillips is my surname.

Happy modelling

My screen name is teevee slang for a news photographer (which is what I do for a living). Most places I'm just "shootER", but this board and a couple more already had a "shooter" registered so I added the "5" (the channel where I currently work as well as being my favorite number).

Oh, and I have quite a few guns that I like to shoot.

Well mine is pretty simple i think herc= C-130 hercules, and the healer part, well I am a DCC on one (crew chief) so hence the name herchealer

When i signed up on Armorama i thought of the bullets i used to shoot in the army. Like High Explosive and Armour Piercing, and Armor Piercing sounded best, so...
APbullet it is.

mine comes from my platoon nickname from when i was stationed in korea 4th plt,a troop,5-17th cav warhogs......out front sir

Mine comes from the fact I am an aircraft mechanic--so Sky and Wrench.

Although it has been many years since I have read one, mine comes from the series of books by Harold Coyle. Dixon was the main character and his track was HQ-66, hence Dixon66.

Dave S.
