What's up with callsigns these days!??!?!

Discuss anything and everything here that's Airsoft related.

My Call Sign is Book, 'cause I'm a writer. My runnin' buddy is Hard Drive, 'cause he's in "tech support". We run infrequently with a third fella who goes by Butcher, 'cause he is an actual meat butcher. And my brother's call sign is Padre', 'cause he's a priest. :D

Regards all,

Kevin: a.k.a.- Book

I just get called Commie which is fine by me until it follows me to school and I have to explain to every student that it's airsoft. :lol:
Then I have to explain to the school counsler that "airsoft is not an evil militia bent on taking over the world it's a hobby". :evil:
Thinking about changing to J.D. though.

Started out on the forum as NoCallsignYet
Seagreen gave me the callsign Deacon.
Ultimately went with my last name because I didn't see the point of a callsign.

I personally chose BEAR to begin with but someone else had it that has only posted once so the x's had to be added in. I chose the name because of a book series called the Vampire Earth and the Bears are seen as tanks. They are the big bad a$$ dudes who sit at the end of the bar and people pick fights with them because they are huge and they beat the guys a$$.

But I totally agree, I don't want to have to call someone over the radio and say something along the lines of "Pinkpandapedobear46969 give me a sit rep". For one I think the game would be over by the time I said the name and two I would most likely call someone else.

Just my two cents.

All I ever hear on the radio is hot micing, so name yourself whatever you want cause I likely won't be talking to you anyways.

Although occasionally a slightly longer callsign comes in handy on comms for those that are too impatient to wait to actually start tx and all you hear is "rk"...

To which everyone looks at one one another and says "Who the f**k is that?!?!"

I get called "Al" all the time even if I went by my last name "Alger" I'd still probably still get called Al but I'm not that fond of "Al" so I think it's time for a change.

There is already a thread about how you got your callsign. This is a whining thread for big callsigns.

I should change my callsign to my full name. 27 letters. 9 syllables.
