There was a Tomcat with the guys last name was Packer maybe his first name
was
Larry but I don't remember. Call sign
"Fudge"
My call sign, "Sparky"

A few questions about the whole call sign thingie:

1: When did it start?

2. Is there an official component to this silliness, such as a central
registry? Is it on a squadron level or higher up?

2 (A). So what about duplicates/recycling?

3. Is this a Navy/USMC only practice?
