Those are good names, but I was trying to find something both more
frightening and appropriate to the commo purpose of the truck.
This would be for the back of the tailgate.
Seeing that I'm in Texas, I recall seeing "El Mama Grande", but it was
on the back of a garbage scow. Not appropriate anyway.
But the real question is, is the M35 female? Cars and boats sometimes
are. planes?
I had always thought of it as neutral in gender. I know that computer
mainframes are usually named male gender associated. The operator will
say,"he's thinking about it", when the machine is slow or busy. Maybe
the M35 is too butch for a girly name?
(Maybe I need to work on a good stencil of maybe a dog skull and
crossbones where the skull is chewing the bones. Our NG maintenance
truck has one like that on its M105 trailer.)
Since it's a commo truck with 7 tranceivers not to mention a phone
switch and repeater, anything come to mind there? I guess there's not
much threatening about that!
How about "The Operator" ? Hmm.. not quite there but close. I'm really
in a conundrum.
Any veterans recall names of Comm Central trucks?
M35 Commo truck naming contest?
