Req: Info on Tags/Callsigns

[Ghostryder]

Mods: If any of this media puts hood or the website on ice, pm me and I'll remove it immediatly.

Okay, so many of you have probably seen this video already, very cool, etc. I had never seen this extended version before and was impressed and a bit baffled by the 'props' list towards the end: Seemingly a continues stream of callsigns followed by (random) combinations of letters and numbers. It only dawned on me that those letters and numbers refer to the 'executers' of this HR when I saw the last frame. The man on the left is clearly "Prince 64's" or "Granite 74's" "X13". I had been noticing these Tags or callsigns in pics for a while, and thought I'd put together a study. FYI nothing much new here.

It seems from his patch that this dude is in the 25th ID, apparently he is also "C32A"

Far left: "XP1". Hopefully the soldier survived his injuries

I've got this sneaky suspicion that it ain't gonna happen, but maybe somebody in the know could clue us in to what it all means.

cheers,

FYI,
somebody was gracious enough to tag "Objective Medford" in Wiki maps.

Yeah I know, I tried to put this one across as delicate as Nicole Ritchie in a mosh pit ;)

Thanks Guys

[Mountain Man]

Yeah, I'd like to know the answer but I think it is above my pay grade p-)

[Grach]

That's the only thing I've managed to find so far.

Supposedly, personal identification/call sign patch with up to 4 alphanumeric symbols of choice. (scroll to the bottom of a page to see samples. online store)

Chances are Real Excellent - no - make it a "Really ****king Excellent" chance it will be shot down again.

Forget about it. Try to enjoy the pics. Nothing more-nothing less.

Have the best day ever.

I don't doubt it will be. I wasn't the one who started the thread.

No worries,,,,

Roger that

[zulu261]

Were they in fact Deltas or some para rescue whatever?

Prince 64 is the squad and the X13 for example is maybe a kind of personal "nickname" to identify. Or a specific position like machinegunner...

[foxtrot19]

hmm. that guy in the last pic has what looks like a Colt 45 in his holster.. wonder who uses those???

[Creeper]

I use a Colt .45.

[playtym]

I use a Colt .45.

OMFG!!1! DElTa!!!1!!11! p-)
