[8D] Threadsters! Or is it Forumites? It has once again come to my attention that we have new members who haven't introduced themselves. So to all you new folks out there (you know who you are), take a moment to tell us about yourselves ,your log-in names , your avatars and your sig lines. To you older members who slipped thru the cracks before , tell us your tale. And to some of you oldsters who have changed your avatars and /or sig lines , whats the deal? (Or story -whatever). Don't be shy , we don't bite (or at least , not hard). [:D]

Welcome AW1Steve.  Keep coming back.  As you can see, I've been around for awhile just not a big poster.
Mine was actually a joke from my first enlistment in the Marines, "I ain't no Lifer, I'm doing my four years and getting the #@$% out."  After 22.5 years I guess the joke was on me although I wouldn't have changed a thing.

MOS 2147 LAV Mechanic and the last Maintenance Chief for the LAV Air Defence variant.

My login name is just the first name. It is based on an experience I had in the Army over 25 years ago. Briefly:

As a brand spanking new 2LT, I was assigned as the platoon leader of a division's long range recon patrol (LRRP). I reported to the unit just before a training exercise. An orderly in the company HQ gave me a slip of paper with the name of my driver, and suggested I check the company supply area to find him.

Not there. Off to battalion S-4, then the battalion motor pool, back to the S-1 section.....on and on. I had a feeling something was up, but being so new I didn't want to make a bad impression.

Toward the end of the day, I made my way back to the Company HQ and the First Sergeant was there.

"First Sergeant. I'm wondering if you can help me. Have you seen Feltan Lichtersnatch?"

"Young man, I've seen it, felt it, licked it, and a few other things you are not authorized to know about."

A nickname was born, and it is stuck with me since.

Regards,
Feltan

Mine is so because when i joined these forums i was playing SPWAW and i had to decide for a name of a german general...my first choice was something like "OberGruppenFurher"...but then i realized that it wasn't particularly politically correct[:D], so i took one of those generals who opposed A.H. just not to fool anyone[:)]

My Avatars always show my face...i kinda do not like not to know the face of those i'm speaking with

I am a Paramedic.  The unit I work most of the time is AMR109.  In 2001, I had a rather painfull interface between my truck and a rockslide on I-80.  My friend {later to become my wife} suggested the name.
