Ruger 44 magnum Bisley Hunter. BTW, I'm not a hunter, just enjoy shooting.
When I was 14 years old I went hunting with my uncle and shot a deer. When I saw that beautiful buck gasping for air I swore I would never kill another animal.

Mine is a play on a possible prison term (clean as whistle here, so far) and our dream of finding a great 5th wheel and truck to explore this beautiful country we live in. Joined the site to gain insight and learn from others. Truck and 5er accomplished, practice drills for another 6-8 years until I retire and we can roam. Greatly appreciate this site and members helping each other out.

Our aviation unit provided support and reconnaissance to the infantry units sent there.

"Peacekeeper6" was the call sign of our commanding officer who flew my Huey (a '72 model that served in the 'Nam) many times. He was one of those commanders who got respect without really asking for it; his chest full of awards and medals, coupled with being an aviator and a former member of the Special Forces in Vietnam, got noticed. His leadership style was the right blend of authority and compassion. All of his subordinates enjoyed serving under his command.

And being 40-something and in GREAT shape (at the time), he could outrun A LOT of 18-year old "punks".

Anyway, I've always admired him and never forgot his cool call sign.

I was in Nam 70-72 HHC 1st AVN BDE Long Binh. TDY Geographic Limits Nam. I was the CE "Crew Chief" for Three Pilot Commanding Generals with a CW-4 IP Co-Pilot. My DG "Door Gunner" Was from Florida and so was I. He was the one that gave me the name Rabbit because of my last name Hare. cause we all had nick names. His was BJ no it was for Robert (Bob) Atkins. It stuck for the both of us. Oh by the way it was a UH1-H my 1st Love

I've been doing software deployment for over 20 years which used to be called "Build and Release" engineering and now called "DevOps" engineering. So.... River-Of-Code. Devs keep flowing out software changes and I keep pushing it to servers.

Had field bred Eng. Setters that our professional handler ran in grouse field trials. The dogs runs in thick woods and heavy cover thus the name COVER DOG. Many refer to this type of field trials as “Cover Dog” trials.

Years ago I worked in an office that used Apple MacIntosh computers. We used Lotus Jazz for spreadsheets. I was the primary user of that program. Also, I am a musician so they started calling me “BillyJazz” and I liked the moniker so I still use it today.
