You're welcome. It's amazing what one can find on the internet when one is at home and unemployed. Wink

And I love fairy tales. The Magician's Nephew is chronologically the first one in the series. I've read it literally dozens of times.

Combination of an initial and a random word that I saw when I was creating my first email address.

As can be guessed, I'm prior service, U.S. Army having served in the infantry and later in the USAR with a Civil Affairs unit (see my unit patch) from 1988-96.

My primary MOS was grounderpounder/grunt, or what the Army calls "11Bravo" i.e., infantryman.

"OCOKA" is what every grunt learns in infantry school (Marines call it "KOCOA", but same dif.)

Basically OCOKA is an infantry mnemonic that helps us lowlifes remember how to do terrain analysis especially with regards to the deployment of troops or weapons systems in various types of tactical situations.

OCOKA stands for:
O=observation
C=cover and concealment
O=obstacles
K=key terrain
A=Avenues of Approach

And of course, "dude" cos I'm a Namja.

Look for it, you just may see it...I almost got a zipper tattooed there when I was drunk...

I named myself 범석 (Bumsuk) which means stone tiger - my stoic but potentially aggressive side - and then I just chose a Korean surname at random.

I met a Chinese girl here and asked her what she thought about Korea.

Her reply = my username.

I was teaching one of my students about dinosaurs one day and in the process I taught him the words 'gigantic' and 'enormous'. I also taught him the made up word ' ginormous'. Anyway, as the lesson progressed, we were having fun making up imaginary dinosaurs such as the 'horse-asaurus' and 'rhinososaurus' when he blurted out 'ginormousaurus'. We both had a good laugh and later that day I signed up here.

(I used to post under a different name)

Squirrel was what everybody called me in Newcastle.

mrsquirrel has caused much confusion though.

some people see it as mr. squirrel.

some as mrs quirrel.

I am normally referred to as Mrs. Q. now on the other forums I use or sometimes just Q for short.
