New to the Forum

[One-Eyed Jack]

Hello,

I am One-Eyed Jack, new today to the forum. Mis-typed my user name and am hoping to have the first "e" inserted before too long.
My interests are in WWII military weapons, WWII military vehicles, then firearms in general.
I live in the mountains of Montana, worked as a writer and editor for 40 years before retiring to one of the Last Best Places.
It's great to have found Milsurps.com and I hope to be an active, contributing member.
Kind Regards, and Thanks!

Welcome, One-Eyed Jack.

Is there a story behind your moniker?

I knew pilot whose call sign was One-Eyed Jack. He memorized the eye chart and could recite every line, forward and backwards.

Hello, Vincent,
In an earlier time, I was known for occasionally over-reacting and jumping into a situation possibly calling for a moderate approach. Played a lot of poker back then, too, and often started a hand with "One-eyed jacks are wild." That earned me the OEJ label. Now, I must confess, many of my surviving pals have switched to Old Dog, or just Dog. I answer to all of them.
