- If you don’t already have one, you will be assigned one by your “buddies”.
- You probably won’t like it.
- 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.
