Callsign of the day
Callsign "Shooter"
I was given this callsign while from my teammates on my AFROTC drill team. I used to have my hair parted to the side and they all decided that I look like Shooter McGavin from "Happy Gilmore." In fact, we had all gotten together for the Super Bowl one year and the girl I liked was there, she looked at me and said I looked familiar. Then someone said "Happy Gilmore" and right then she realized... "That's it, that's why I recognize him." That pissed me off, and ever since then I've been stuck with "Shooter" as my callsign.
