Quite true, I never did, even though you're supposed to.

I'd say we get spoiled in military aviation since our radios automatically monitor both UHF and VHF guard. You'd think the FAA would mandate that GA planes do the same...
I totally agree.
Before this thread completely dies, let's take it in another direction:
What are some of the best/funniest/outright mean callsigns that you have heard?

Phrog, you ever run across Assassin? That man's a warrior. Too bad he's retired now. And great story behind the callsign, too.
I had IHTFP on a tattered, partially burnt, stained piece of paper that I hung up by my desk for four years. I even marched tours for not taking it down.

NWOH - PM me if you want to know... Put it on here, and I'd piss too many people off
Of course, if a civilian on a tour sees IHTFP scrawled somewhere (and the sometimes do), the proper answer is that it stands for one of two things:
1. I Hope There's a Friday Parade
2. I Hope To Fly Planes

All the following were in my A-6 squadron:
"Big" Johnson (he was 6'4" and 230)
"Stiffy"
"Lick" Mawhinney
"Boner"
"Stroke"
and of course, "Meat".
"Lick" and "Big" were both pilots I flew with a lot. Imagine the briefing board:
Lizard 500 - Big/Meat (or) Lick/Meat
What were they (evil Big Navy) going to do? Decommission us?
Oh, that's right they did.:icon_rage
Great list here: http://www.safetycenter.navy.mil/media/approach/whatsyourcallsign/
I submitted most of the above but they decided not to include them.
