    Default There was a time

    when we were known as Cedar Radio on the HF managing MAC flights (for those younger than 40, it's or was AMC).

    The remainder of the USMM were eloquently known as Cedars One thru 15 (being me, the most junior even as an E-7). Girlfriends came and went, but we adjusted to Cedar One Point Five for my standbys and tried to recognize accents. My latest catch was MS B from the Swedish Embassy

    Only later did I concern myself with our call signs "Cedar" when having the HF repaired, I noticed "made in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA."

    With that John, I can only imagine how you acquired Tango 5

    I was Five Three Bravo Tango. Five Three was 3rd platoon. Bravo was the Platoon leader and Bravo Tango meant I was his RTO.

    Typically "hey, you", although there have been variations on same from time to time.
