This is exactly how I see the call signs, especially after the way Kara hands them out. And it really works well with the way both Kara and Lee have reacted to being questioned about them--kind of an embarrassed resignation.

Exactly! And because of that other pilots probably don't pry, unless, of course they've been drinking or they're really bored. Civilians, though...well, they would probably pry, not realizing there might be embarrassment attached.


I have always thought that 'Husker' must be in reference to William's husky voice.

Oooh! Hadn't thought of that one, but it certainly works.
