where did you get your callsign?
« on: October 22, 2010, 02:31:35 PM »
somehow i stumbled upon a thread that ended some 8 years ago about this very topic. figured i'd start a new one instead of necro-bumping the original thread. so..... how did you create yours?

i originally chose "Wildcat1" for my high school mascot. the "1" was because i thought it would sound original (we all thought crazy things as 2-weekers)

about 6 months ago, i changed it to "swede91", because my family has Swedish herritage. "91" because my birth year is 1990. i mistakenly pressed "1" instead of "0", but didnt notice until i was in-game.  :rolleyes:

after the Philipine Phandango scenario i changed my name back to "Wildcat1" because of my admiration for the F-M2 Wildcat. that bird has gotten me through a lot of messes.

so what's your story?

there's been a couple since.

Mine is from FFVII. I loved that game and used Seph since I started oh so long ago. The only change was the addition of the SE 3 weeks after I started.

I started as ddragon during tour 51, cuz dragon was taken.  Took a short 1 year or so break, came back as leDragon for a few years.  I changed to chef after the Dayton gathering in 2009 by popular demand.  Took on the SW after squad change.

My favorite style of music.

I chose this spelling thinking "Blues" was probably already taken.
