I have added Call Signs to your profile. I decided to make it where you could choose your own, but that might change (though I doubt it).
Just a little info about call signs:
The Three Rules of Nicknames:
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 piss 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 call sign?
Do something stupid or have it fit with your last name. Obvious examples, 'Crash' or LT 'Cheese' Kraft. Some times it's based on a physical appearance thing like 'Carrot'.
If you decide to add a Call Sign, please let us know the story behind it here.

"Superior training and superior weaponry have, when taken together, a geometric effect on overall military strength. Well-trained, well-equipped troops can stand up to many more times their lesser brethren than linear arithmetic would seem to indicate."

Wasn't he the one that kept wanting the chief to die so he could be chief?

I had to go with "Tiny". Several people call me that.
