Nom de Plume Update

[GWU PNS (emeritus)]

I just wanted to formally announce I've decided to update my moniker. As I decide whether or not I should start growing a beard or form a pony tail and handle bar mustache, I wouldn't want to confuse anyone that I am the current GWU PNS.

(Someone might want me to do a lecture or some other tedious task, and we can't have that now, can we?)

Nice and appropriate. BZ.
(Activate silly font.) Earrings. Equal opportunity has not yet allowed male service members earrings in uniform, so now’s your time to exercise your rights.

Please God, don't do the elderly balding man ponytail hipster thing.

Well......I can't really do much about the balding part. But I do have an expanding list of the best happy hour free food in the DC metro area. Now I jist need some really baggy shorts and I have to gain about 50 pounds.

Retired General Merrill H "He whose name will never be spoken", former USAF CofS...grew a beard and a ponytail.

Now in his late 80s, I understand the ponytail is gone.

I was going to suggest the beard. They go white, and with a tight trim you can aim for the Earnest Hemmingway look.

Keep it Navy - Captain Raimius style in “Hunt for Ted October.”

Oh heck, just use Sean as your avatar. Set the tone for your new look right away.

 

[flieger83]

Of course, you could go for the regal look and speak in the third person...

He has hair though. There's always the toupee option I guess.

Need something more modern and hip.

I was thinking perhaps one of teenage rock groups like Ram Jam. Nice mullet and even sports aviator glasses. I think I have my inspiration now.

Meet the woman who holds the record for the world's longest mullet

The 2024 Guinness World Record-holder began rocking a mullet more than 30 years ago and hasn't looked back — except to occasionally check if someone's stepping on her hair.

The Bacon Association of America wanted me to relay they have assigned you 5 demerits for a non-bacon themed "Off Topic" post.

Does me thinking about the proper acronym for "Bacon Association of America" further cement my admission of being a SWO?

Even though I haven't demonstrated my stab-stab-stab-stab-look skills

Believe it or not, I had been struggling to conjure an acronym that was funny enough and yet still safe for a public website. I wouldn't want to earn the "ban-badge" right out of retirement.

I am right there with you, idly playing with combinations for a bacon society that acronymed out as “BADA$$.”
