    Multi factorial really. I'm a physician and was a Naval Flight Surgeon for many years before transitioning to the ANG. Hence the Doc. Mo are the first letters of my surname. Also, while a flight surgeon I qualified to function as a ECMO on the EA-6B Prowler. Hence the real beginning of the name by contracting Doctor and ECMO or Docmo.

    I was lucky enough to be a USMC regulation flight surgeon and served with VMAQ-4 and also flew with VMAQ-1, VMAQ-2 and VMAQ-3 as well. I have now gone over to the dark side and wear a USAF uniform now (they actually have airconditioned tents! Can you believe that?).

    She may have been the flying drumstick but she was a damn fine aircraft. I think I shed a tear or two as they retired her airframe recently. The FA-18G's have taken over her watch now.

    The Growler may be sexier, but man was that Prowler a rugged and reliable airframe!

    Thanks to you as well sir, and to all those who have served and those currently serving.

    Mine's my name. Its rare in itself, let alone amongst the wetshavers. I like using my real name, that way it's more personal.... it's also cute listening to people from all over the world try to pronounce it, or make any sense of the spelling.

    Serbian Croation pronounced sir-jan It comes from the Latin words (SERVUS > SERVĬUS) > SERGĭUS and means servant or slave.

    Tintin, a Belgian cartoon character. Read some imported comic books in high school and there was a movie made a couple years ago that i went to see with my son. Looks like he might use a straight razor because of his clean shaven face. Being new to forums i couldn't think of anything else. wish i would have used a form of my real name now.

    Hey pretty cool! That's surely one of the interpretations, but not really "slave"... "servant" rather, because it can also mean "guardian", "keeper", or "chaperone".

    Being an authentic Serbo-Croatian name, there's of course more about the origin tying it to the region, but basically that's it.

    Big props to you and my fellow Sergios-es, Sergio-s, Sergej-s, Serge-s and Sergiu-s [emoji6]
