identify individual pilots. The way a pilot

receives a call sign varies by branch

and by squadron but three basic rules

apply to all!

1. Pilots who don’t have good nameswhen they arrive at their first squadron

will be given new ones.

2. They probably won’t like their call

sign.

3. f they complain! they’ll get even

worse names"

names, such as Bob $ead =ndU Ctreet, or >arlCpeedyU Jon9ales !thers earn them by theirlooks, like Nim Tree TopU 5aynes, who was @ feet
