How did you get your Handle?

[martyr]

handle 1, "martyr": playing Jane's Fighters Anthology many, many years ago, my squadron gave me this callsign. in the event of weapons systems failures, i almost always ditched my aircraft into an enemy's aircraft, and sometimes i didn't eject, just to make sure i hit 'em.

handle 2, "Tango Uniform": named after the comics i started drawing years ago. in turn, those are named for the phoenetic-alphabet representation of the common abbreviation (TU) for the military slang term for inoperative/broken: Tits Up. Now you know.
