This question comes up every now and again, but I am putting a twist on it. There is 2 parts to this survey: What do you do for a living and what does your VMF handle mean? I just read my post from a few years ago and I need to update the what I do for a living part. You will also notice that there are links to posts made several years ago and many users are gone. The post lives on, but the user name is history. That is one reason that I end every post with my initials. :: OK here are the links to these same questions from the past. Username meaning and Bringing home the bacon fd
What do you do for a living and the meaning of your handle- Its been a while O/T

I work for the Tennessee Army National Guard in Smyrna, TN, trying to go Active Army again. My initials are gg, and I am a guy that fixes and flys around in Army Blackhawk helicopters. My AOL screen name has been GGflyguy for 7 or 8 years.
I still haven't figured out how to put a pic of my stang on here!!

My name is Paul Morgan. I'm in the U.S. Coast Guard (almost 16 years now, and still loving it).
My handle is VA for Virginia, and of course "stang" is self explanatory.
I've since moved to Louisiana but have yet to ask "bob" if it's possible to change my user name to "LA Stang" without losing my lowly status.
As you can see, I still can't figure out how to fix my sig pic since moving, although I have not tried. A friendly VMF'er bailed me out when I first registered and hosted the pic for me. I've been too busy with yard work at the new house and am still in shock that I successfully replaced my steering wheel and repaired my horn a few days ago, to worry about it.

I'm an IT executive at a Fortune 500 high-tech company. My area of responsibility is worldwide data storage infrastructure.
My handle reflects the fact that I joined VMF when I was first looking for a '69 Mach 1. The Mach has since come and gone but I like the name so I've stuck with it. Besides, I turned a plain-jane '69 convertible into the equivalent of an M-code Mach 1, so it still sort of fits.

I am a sheet metal worker, I build and install ductwork, metal roofs, stainless kitchen equipment, walk in refrigerators. I am i967mustang because Swmbo and I both always wanted a mustang and never had one so when we started going out she bought me a 1967 mustang coupe. I wanted to use 1967mustang as a email account and they wouldn't let me start it with a number so I substituted the i for the 1 and have used that for all of my user names except on alo IM it was already taken so I use sawmill78 thats where and when I met SWMBO.

i am a probation/parole officer for the county i live in. i have been doing it now for three years and it has its ups and downs. having people look you in the face and lie thru thier teeth is getting kind of old, probably looking to change careers in the next couple years.
stubes is just a nickname my wife had for me when we started dating as s-t-u-b is the first 4 letters of my last name.

I run the furniture department at a local import/retail store, I've worked there for 3+ years since getting out of high school. Everything from taking merchandise off the trucks to loading it for the customers, and everything in between. 30+ guaranteed but flexible hrs/week and a position with real responsibility and reimbursement is not bad for a student in my situation. I'd like to get out of retail but don't see it happening soon, at least towards the end of or after college.
My handle/alias, is pronounced ross-M-G, not rassmig or any of that other jibberish I've heard though it is entertaining. I don't think I've ever met one person from the Mustang hobby who recognzied it or said it right, most people just call me by my real name(Matt) but here's the explanation. The nickname is from the lyrics of the Sublime song 'Doin' Time' off their 1997 self-titled album. "Bradley's on the microphone with RAS-MG" acknowledging the producer(Marshall Goodman, MG) then nicknamed RAS. It was the first computer alias/handle I ever used(circa late 97) and I wanted something personal instead of just my name with a #. My initials happen to be MG also and Sublime is and always will be my favorite band so I'm stickin to it! If you ever see me on AIM, the 3030 has another music meaning but nobodies recognized that either.

I own a towing and auto repair business. I've owned it for the last 8 months, having left a career in healthcare management where my last job was COO of a large multispecialty medical clinic. Driving a tow truck is alot more fun than getting your butt chewed by a doctor. ::
My wife and I both have the same first initial..."J". My last name if Moffett. I use that username on everything (when it's available) so I don't have to remember a different name for everything.
