Just for fun - how did you choose your handle/user name

My handle is pretty obvious...:flame: Capture.JPG

well just poking around here and have to admit, didn't read them all but quite a few. To those that have lost love ones, that have made it through major medical issues etc. I am glad to part of the group. For us, lots of things have happened as well through our 41 years, that is as of January 2021, but not real good at figuring those things out, so it's jus JFF&KRN for Jeff and Karen. Have a great day.
 
Mine's isn't very exciting. I bought my first 4x4 dually back in 1999. Then traded it up in 2002. Now drive a 2009. All 4x4 duallies. I picked my username when I joined my first forum back around 2005-6 era which was Diesel Truck Resource. Soon after got banned from the place because I put my band name in my signature line....thanks, Larry Ellis. It was "unsolicited advertising". Left that communist platform and found Competition Diesel. Been there since 2007 and have gained several hundred hp. The username has carried over into Polaris, Electrical, and now RV forums.

Ain't no use 'round here for a 4x2dually. ;)

The '99

I still miss the '02. She was a helluva tow pig.

This new girl is still under modification. Now a long bed mega and soon to get the mega fenders transplanted back onto her and a 3rd gen tailgate upgrade.

The '02 manual would be the hands-down all time winner if the back seat wasn't so dang small. It's had to "family" with a quad cab.

Don't know how I missed this thread over the last several years??? My username is from my rank when I left the Army, Sargeant (SGT) and my initials ROC. If I remember correctly, there was a comic book character named Sgt Rock back in the day....
 
Diesel Truck Resource.

Terrible place - I asked them to ban me when I saw how they conducted business - same time frame as you.

As far as ajg617, fell in love with Avro Lancasters when I was young - no clue why except all I wanted to do was fly. AJ call letters for RAF 617 Sqdn. G for George was Wing Commander G P Gibson's aircraft on the great dams raid. Not very original - just a WWII aviation nut.

As an amateur historian focusing on WWII and that era, I totally get it - though I would never have deciphered your handle in a million years.

Nobody has guessed it yet and I've been using it for decades:) I've been fortunate enough to have corresponded with some of the original Flying Tigers in the days of boards, had a couple of beers at the Peterson O Club with the instructor pilot who taught Jimmy Stewart how to fly B-17s, listened to my HS math teacher relate his experiences flying P-40s on day one in the Philippines (that whole sequence of events is a story in itself involving every teacher who had served spending a week educating their classes on what was not in the history books - in 1966 yet), my first flight instructor a 24,000 hour WASP, and many more. I consider all of these a blessing in forming my appreciation for everyone who has served such as yourself and who are serving today.

My dad was a P-47 pilot in WWII. Europe. Was shot but able to fly back and land. Was in a hospital in Paris when the war ended.
 
Went with what the grand-daughter calls us. Pretty simple and easy for me to remember.
I have lurked/joined many forums from tractors to cars to trucks to lawn care to campers and this one is by far the friendliest and most helpful that I have come across.
 
Its origin was while visiting Washington DC many years ago; I was captivated by the sculpture at the Washington National Cathedral. It reminds me we are all from nothing- and not to take myself too seriously.
 
Back in the 90's I was on the Pro Jet Ski racing circuit. Name-Nickname was given to me by ESPN announcer due to me having been fined for leaving a gas can on beach in Mission Bay by accident (local reg's forbid leaving un-attended). ;)

Sincerely,

David
