Don't remember anymore how it came about!
Don't remember anymore how it came about!
I posted this elsewhere, but it tells the story adequately;
I went to Pa (Camp Bashore) to take an adult leadership training called Woodbadge. Being a trainer for the CubScouts at the time and considering it was the LAST Cub Scout Woodbadge to be offered, my best friend Dan, and I decided to do this... it was to be a week long event.
Well, being a Florida boy (semi-native) I felt that I had to bring some Florida Kitsch with me as well... and so I went to Wal-Mart and bought what I thought were pink plastic flamingoes. When I arrived I was assigned to the Bobwhite patrol, and my Dan to the Owl patrol. As I set up my campsite on the side of this mountain (they called it a hill), I, true to tradition, set the pink critters up just outside of my tent.
Just before dinner that night, one of the trainers came to our site to give us an orientation... "What in tarnation are these?" he queried... and without losing a beat, I told him they were "Florida Bobwhites". The name stuck, and they became our mascots. It was an intense week, and I got to meet some awesome Scouters and made some lifelong friends too. At the end of the camp, I gave a "Florida Bobwhite" to each of the two people that meant the most to me there. So now I receive pictures of the Florida Bobwhites from various locales... on the Whitehouse Lawn, from inside the Pentagon, sunning in the Bahamas, and sitting outside the Scuba exhibit at the last National Boy Scout Jamboree. I was also given a nick name at that time... "Fla-Bob Pete".
Also during the week, I kept smelling a gator in their little lake... they didn't believe me until the last day... but hey, thats another story. :tease:

Well yea... I've got a nickname....
... but you all know it...
diving related "Polaris" after my first attempt at a SMB deployment - thankfully I am over that now!
Most of my friends are very unimaginative and just call me JB (my initials).

nah - Natasha your name is MOM!!
Since my last name sounds a lot like "venom" I was called snake(s) or snakebite when I was in school. Then it became Davy in Navy and now "Jerk", "A-hole", uh -you name it I have been called it.
You can call me anything but late for dinner!!!
