Thread: Why is your Username/Nickname?

rlmnshvstr8 = "real men shave str8" - no spaces or vowels

Quite straightforward really

T - Tony
hug - 1st 3 letters of my surname
hence... Thug

and no, I'm not one.

Generally speaking I use "Milo" or some variation on that theme for most sites. Wanted a fresh start here and the other place, so I chose a nickname acquired during a week's vacation in Ottawa when I was 16. I have no idea how the guys that tagged me with "Orville" came to their decision, but it stuck for a short time, and now here it is again.

cool word play with your name

In the days between dialing into Bulletin Board Systems and hitting the early days of the internet. My friends and I were fans of the Highlander TV show.. one of the antagonists in an episode was named Kanwulf. I thought it sounded pretty good, but didn't realize it had a different spelling. Needless to say.. the incorrect spelling stuck.

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.

That is one incredible bird. Thank you for serving. SF

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.

Rather than scrolling through to see if I had already done this(I should be Dullblade ha ha) When I started wetshaving I always shaved at night so as not to rush through my shaving and get it right. Hence I sound now like a Marvel comic character .........Nightblade !! (I still like a quiet night shave too.)

Nothing interesting. My initials and the month I was born J. P. 5
