TRACOM/RAG callsigns rarely survive first contact with the fleet.

Actually, it's not, oh mighty Midshipman of Knowledge. A few people on here know mine.

I may be one of the exceptions to that rule..

But then again, my last name is Bates..

My old callsign "Tree" thankfully got overruled by the Navy Callsigns.

DH's call sign is Wizard. Its because he plays video games/ computer games all the time. Even the COs kid wants to see Wizard because he knows all the cool games, etc. He's also been called BFQ "butt f'ing quitter" from Team America World Police since his name is Gary.

What the hell is a DH?

 

[MasterBates]

Normally Department Head (aka, the Hinges)

I think this is something else though...

 

[MattWSU]

Think she meant HD.

Yeah, I know her husband... he's not a department head... so not sure what DH means...

 

[crysmc]

DH = Dear Husband We know, you hate it.

 

[HighDimension]

Think she meant HD.

Uhh, I don't think so, the husband might get mad at that.

 

[Fly Navy]

DH = Dear Husband We know, you hate it.

Oh god. Oh... god.

 

[Cate]

DH = Dear Husband We know, you hate it.

Yeah, DH, SO, DB... Y'all sit there and hate, and tell us to use your abbreviations instead of our abbreviations, 'cause it's so hard to keep two sets of abbreviations in your middle memory, but I'd say you're SOL, AFAIK.

And go ahead, Fly. As you said, a few people on here know your callsign, and a few people know what it should be and why, and one or two of those people can keep a secret - for a price.
