Your code name and others?

Asked by Comedian (1123points) November 28th, 2008

So my cousin is in the Canadian army right, and he told me that they use numbers for code names. Why do the Americans use like animal names, the Russians and other European armies use names of flowers, and the Canadians use numbers?

Also, what would your code name be and why? Mine is 007 because I love Sean Connery.

Any of those.

Or maybe Madcat (or Timberwolf, if you are a hard-core nerd) if I get to drive a robot! << Geek Reference!

Haha, back in high school I earned the name Hessler on game night with my friends. Hess is my last name and that’s German. – I’m also really good at Risk. And I always invade in the direction of Berlin.

That and Cowpie. I like Cows. And Pie. But the combination I do not enjoy.

@chelseababyy
haha; you might be the only other person I know who likes Top Gun that much. You get the gold star.

Instead of Goose, I’m gonna go with “The Penguin” (a Blues Brothers reference)

@aanuszek1 :D I DONT like Top Gun. I love it. And even love, is an understatement.
