Yes in deedy doody I imagine it was. We had a guy from Oklahoma with the last name Beavis. Rest assured others are greatful in Basic training for the presence of those who have lightning rods for last names.

The guy in my basic training battery with the most unfortunate surname was a fellow named Cyr. I can still hear the drill sergeant yelling "I'll be DAMNED if I'll call you 'Sir' !!!! From now on your name is 'Private Shithead'" (yep, in those days they could still swear at us)

I'm a retired Chief hence the "Chief" and the "Bones" is a play on my last name (BXXXXW).

Rabs · December 29th, 2005

My initials with an S stuck on the end.

Claymore · December 29th, 2005

I took my name because I am Scot and from the sword that was presented to my Great-grandfather by his WWI regimental officer (One of the Black Watch regiments) - it was a two-handed Claymore. The sword is now mounted above my fireplace.

TBA_PAKI · December 29th, 2005

TBA refers to initials of my name.

-> Taimur Bin Aslam. An Arabic style name.

And PAKI represents my national identity.

Hence, I collectively termed these two things as "TBA_PAKI".

revenant · January 3rd, 2006

Revenant means: a person who returns from death or long absence as a ghost. I went through a year long period in my life going through clinical depression, multiple suicide attempts, etc., and I still consider myself kind of leading a half life after all that, like I'm a ghost in what my life was before I fell into a bad time. It is my universal screenname and means a lot to me.

5.56X45mm · January 3rd, 2006

Well, the first magazine fed rifle that I owned was a Ruger Mini-14 which is chambered in .223 Winchester. That is the civilian version of the 5.56X45MM military cartridge. And of course my time in the US Army, I carried a M16A2 , M4A1 Carbine, and a M249 SAW. Which all three are chambered in 5.56X45MM.

I love that caliber and I love the weapon systems that fire it. So, it's my name.
