Reply With QuoteThis is a solid, long-needed and very welcome addition to the WAB moderating staff. I'd like to add my congratulations on a well-chosen moderator. Chogy perfectly fits the bill in every respect.
I am glad to announce that the ranks of our moderators have found another long established and esteemed member willing to join our staff. Chogy has become our newest addition to the team and will help to take care of this place (you people can make quite a mess, has anyone ever told you that?), while at the same time continue to enrich our debates with his insightful and professional comments .
Welcome to the team and thank you for accepting the offer. We needed to use much less force and threats than in most cases.
uh I might be wrong

Congrats, Chogy. A much deserved position considering your contributions to WAB.
Now i know who to talk to about planes
Congrats.
and can we know what Chogy stands for
Congrats on the position and good luck. You're gonna need it now that Yellowbelly's back...
Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.
Thank you Gentlemen...
I've used the handles Swede, Pyro, and Chogy on various forums. All of them were Air Force callsigns (nick names) except for Chogy.
First callsign was Swede. I was big, blond, kind of slow, and with a hugely nordic last name. Callsigns actually serve a pretty useful purpose. They identify individuals and flights on UHF radio without actual names. If I say "Mongo ejected over the farms South of the power station" then they know who I'm talking about.
I picked up "Pyro" after I was arrested for detonating a homemade explosive device on base, and charged with "attempted destruction of government property"... a port-a-john. It's a long story, no harm intended, but the fallout from that episode stuck like glue. I somehow survived.
At Holloman AFB, they had a list of Government Approved RADIO callsigns for flights, and I was told "pick one." So "Chogy" was nothing more than a bad radio callsign, not a nickname.
Congrats!
And don't pay much attention to Benny. He is an enlisted swine after all. (Although he didn't enlist per se) :P
I'm usually nicer to field grade officers and above, especially if they're mods.
Thy have a list of govt approved radio call signs??? Where's the fun in that???
I may be an enlisted swine, but I'm still an NCO with access to guns and explosives of all shape and forms. Plus, I've got reserves coming up...

When you call someone a Chogy what's it mean ?
Or is that as you said, it means nothing more than a bad callsign.
Dunno bout bad though, its short & memorable.
How many Chogy's can there be in this world ?
...just the one
Yes, a well-deserved promotion! A good choice, all around! Congrats, Chogy!
