Member Names

Im sure this has probably been asked before or if this belongs here LOL.But what is the meaning of your member name and why? Mine is one of my favorite SciFi book characters.

 

Uhhh, my I chose my name as it is, errrr, my name.



It used to be Joe2 but Otto kindely changed it for me.

 

Same here. My name is my name

 

My grandfather started out on PAK 38/40 and ended in Stug Ausf G. Thus PZJGR was born! Ta Da!

 

Sorry some seem pretty obvious LOL. I was meaning those with non personal names LOL.

 

Joe, you slay me buddy!!

My name cam from when I helped with the Youth Group at a church I used to attend. I'm 6 ft 4 inches tall, and I weigh about 300 pounds! And I love to have fun and laugh!
So they gave me that name!

 

I'm consistant using mine here and elsewhere that way I can spread it around like cheap margarine.

 

Well Montana is my middle name and the A-10 is my fav jet

 

Mine's German for cheap margarine

 

The Ta-152 has always been one of my favorite aircraft. It looks like a war machine and not a pretty plane like the Spitfire. I also like the Fw-190D but I wanted to show the forum I was a person of class.

 

Hi

On this and various other WW2 sites my username is (surprise, surprise) Ron Goldstein.

I have always found that using my real name tells people exactly where I am coming from and saves a lot of embaressment all round.

You can call me Ron

 

Falcon Jun is the nick I've been using for years. Falcon comes from the F-16 Falcon because I was pretty good as a kid with the old F-16 combat simulator on the XT. Jun comes from Junior, shortened to Jun. Since I lorded it over my childhood buddies when it comes to the F-16, they dubbed me Falcon Jun. Another friend of mine got the Thunderbolt because when it comes to the A-10, he scores tops. Another got Eagle, and so forth and so on.

 

Well that just came in handy didn't it LOL

 

Ahhhh, and we come to Za Rodinu and The Red Rabbi !

Some thirty years ago our wargames club were starting in WW2 micro-armour and we were parceling out who was going to do what. I came late to the meeting and what was left was guess what. So as time went by I went on to develop my interest in the Red Army, I do have a sizable 1:300 force both for WW2 and the 80's.

This is the name I'm using in this forum and others of the same ilk, and others of different ilk as well. It means 'For the Motherland', and you can see it written on plane fuselages, etc.



The Red Rabbi came about on a yahoo group dedicated to a certain wargames ruleset, which had a tremendous pro-German slant, like the Jerries could move and fire while others could move or fire, etc, etc. One of the authors was of German ancestry and the bibilography was 'interesting'.

So I brought up this fictional character to hammer at everything too blatantly skewed in the rules and as a complete anti-nazi counterpoint against other sort of 'manifestations' that cropped up in the group. The Nazis worst nightmare, a Communist Jew!

All of a sudden it occured to me that SOME members could be actually Jewish, so I apologised to the group but instead I got a lot of backslapping from actual Jewish members because they found The Red Rabbi a funny character, and who saved a lot of grief by doing the bulldozer work going after nazos himself!

Before calling TRR up here I did ask permission first (this time!) and reaction was favourable, so here he is, old Feliks (who wasn't Jewish)!



P.S. My mother's family is of Jewish extraction, so no problem on that side either.

 

I'm an aviation fan so no surprise here.

 

I was in the TA back in the 1980s.
SF Pl, 1 Wessex.
Our cap badge was the Wyvern.
Same as 43rd (Wessex) Division in WW2.

 

When I was yong my brother tried to explain to me what a pilots' callsign was, and then asked me what I would like to be called in this games, the only name I could think of was the Tomcat based on the F14 Tomcat, and wolah it just kinda stuck

 

Mine was originally a piece of sarcasm from my eldest daughter, since I'm a bit..err... obsessive about the subject. I also use it on every other forum I frequent, though I did meet an American namesake on another one a few years back. Damned interloper.
