Why all the weird names

Hi all,,

I just realized that alot of people come on our blog and are wondering why all the weird names? Well, everyone who attended camp last year was assigned a " Call Sign" It was to be able to hand out new handles to everyone as they came into camp. How does one get a call sign, well here is a little bit of information from a call sign site.

The Three Rules of Callsigns

  1. If you don't already have one, you will be assigned one by your "buddies".
  2. You probably won't like it.
  3. If you complain and moan too much about 1. and 2., you'll get a new nickname you'll like even less!

So, how do you get a callsign?

Do something stupid or have it fit with your last name. Obvious examples, 'Crash' or LT 'Cheese' Kraft. Sometimes it's based on a physical appearance thing like 'Carrot'. After you've earned the respect of your buddies, you'll get a more 'heroic' callsign.
