[SWJED]

[Tom Odom]

Well I am jealous

I should have started one on CALL long ago

Or maybe me and Stan in Goma

Hmmm, there's nothing sexier than call signs 501 and 506

Well, there used to be 13 call signs before Tom arrived

[John T. Fishel]

I was Tango 5 and there were all the little Tangos, according to Tango 2!

Where was Doctrine Man when we needed him?!

[Stan]

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

[slapout9]

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

The Collins radio story is pretty cool.

I've been Blue 6, Bushmaster 6 and Hellraiser 6.

[BayonetBrant]

I've been Armor 31, Hotel 5, Dragon 31, Alpha 16-Tango, Steel 2, then (different "Dragon unit) Dragon 1, Dragon Wrench, Dragon 6, and Dragon Camera (don't ask) and then in yet another "Dragon" unit, was Dragon 3A and Dragon 2A.

Just can't escape the "Dragon" call sign...

[Uboat509]

I got the call sign Uboat several years ago when I was in the 509th. I nearly drowned in a rain swollen creek. My call sign was latter changed to Titanic but I prefer Uboat.

[kville79]

PVT-LCPL the moniker "Crack Baby" seemed to follow me from unit to unit.

Also been:

Hey you
k-ville
SGT. Incredible
Ship-pal-seki Mi-goon... something something (I love working with KATUSA's )

[Gringo Malandro]

My favorite was a wrecker called "Camel Tow." One day I heard the following transmission over the radio:

Guy #1: Hey were still waiting on wrecker support here what's going on?
Guy #2: Camel Tow is stuck!
Guy #1: Say again?
Guy #2: Roger, the Camel Tow is stuck, we're trying to pull it out!

(proper radio etiquette omitted for clarity)

[Harry Phillips]

I was "Strike 2" for a while in Korea...better than "Strike 3"...
