User Names.

[32Bravo]

What is the significance of your User-name?

32 Bravo - radio call sign for:

3 = 3rd Company

2 = 2nd platoon of the company

B = 2 section of the platoon.

Therefore 32Bravo = 2 section, 10 platoon, C Company.

When working with other arms, such as armour or artillery, they might have units with the same call sign, so a pre-fix address is added e.g. Tango 32 Bravo (tanks) India 32 Bravo (infantry), Golf 32 Bravo (artillery).

[Firefly]

Mine is obviously after the Sherman Firefly, the best version of the Sherman I think.

The coolest looking version of the Panther, at least it's what I think! :D

[Nickdfresh]

Mine's derived from a nickname...

And yes, when I created it as an off-the-cuff registration username just to get Van Halen bootleg songs, I had no intention of posting on message boards. Now I'm stuck with it...

[Egorka]

Egorka derives from my real name - Igor.
"Egorka" relates to "Igor" the same way "Johnny" relates to "John".

It is also the way for me to show that I am not taking my self seriously and see my own flaws... unlike you, guys. :)

How does that work?
:confused:

Smoothly so far... :)

You see I could have chosen nickname like "TheGreatRulerOfAllIgorsInTheWorld" but I chose the modest "Egorka".

On a serious note: In Russian Egorka has a sarcastic note to it.

GermanSoldier because my favorite military in WW2 is Germany

"The Outsiders?"

[Digger]

digger. Australian soldiers are referred to as diggers, but that's not why I chose it. One of my workmates always calls me digger, probably because he forgets my real name.

It just stuck in my head when I joined.

digger

He stood for liberty and freedom against the monster that was Hitler... And because I'm English... ;)

[Sergej]

Sergej... Guess why...

[flamethrowerguy]

flamethrowerguy...guess why...No,seriously. Actually I do not like flamethrowers very much. It's just the answer I gave to the head of the drafting commission at the end of the physical examination when he asked me what branch of service I'd like to join in the Bundeswehr.

[navyson]

Mine is navyson because my father was in the US navy in WW2. The 1 comes from the fact I had to re-register to be able to enter the forums because site messed up my e-mail address. :(

You're a fan of blue serge suits?

[tankgeezer]

I always thought Igor was the side-kick of the young Frankenstein portrayed by Marty Feldman?
That was spelled Igor, but pronounced eye-gor it goes with the movable hump...
Mine comes from the unglamorous combination of my age, and my job in the army.

[ptimms]

Mine comes from a lack of imagination and the fact I have no need to hide my identity. On forums where I wish to hide my identity I use the spoonerism Woapy Sit Tank.

[Nickdfresh]
