I acquired my user name by way of the US air Force and the Vietnam conflict. I was an on-the-ground Forward Air Controller in Vietnam in 1966 and 1967 and I was attached to the 101st Airborne. We went out into the field (jungle) with the Army artillery and when necessary called in air strikes on targets and in some cases actual battles. Anyhow, there were a group of us that were all attached to different units and our call sign was Ragged Scooper 01 or 11 or 21, etc. depending on which unit it was. I just thought it was a neat call sign and had a really nice ring to it when said over the short wave radios several times in succession. So, I chose to use it when I had my CB radio in the 70's and no one could understand it. Guess it works better in print!

I used to watch golf on TV, but my doctor said I needed more exercise, so now I watch tennis!
