Name's Ken and I hail from "sunny" CA. Been in to Starfist and ForceRecon since I found them 'bout a year or so ago. Most of the time I work in a hardware store and go to school, though school is when I get time for most of my reading. I was a commercial electrican and volunteer firefighter so I guess that is where I got my nickname. Any questions, just belt'em out. 

Welcome to the party Sparky.

TP wants to know "Boxers or Briefs?"

Welcome, Sparky, welcome. I am the slightly infamous one known simply as "TP" on this venerable forum. If you ever get caught between Finucane and myself, just tell either of us to shut up so you can speak.

Oh, and Mr. Sherman, I actually know the answer to that question, since it is related to me. Tanks were originally devoloped by the Royal Navy, or so they say, so the terms followed the tank.

Don't hesitate to correct me if I am wrong.
