Here's another one who didn't quite think things through before signing up. Maybe I jinxed myself, since I still am Sigless.

The 765 was because my 7.65mm Walther PPK was on the desk next to the computer when I signed up.

IDPA club I used to shoot at was very heavy in 1911 and the purists looked down on us that shot lesser calibers. The day I showed up with a 1911 in 9mm, the match director started calling me "Mr. 9mm".

2nd Battalion, 9th Field Artillery (4th Inf. Div., Viet Nam)

Started using this years ago on different sites on the off-chance that someone from the unit would recognize it and contact me.

We now have a website, but I just kept the name.

I figured it had something to do with Admiral Halsey - you're own tribute "Balze Halze".


I was also referred to as "The Admiral" or just "Admiral" and still am by many. It was a toss up which handle I was going to choose.

It's my SASS alias that I have had for the past 20 years. I got it because I am a co-owner and operator of a foreign auto repair shop and fix a lot of our cowboy club's rolling stock.

Back in my early professional photography days when shooting medium-format film cameras, I used Bronica camera gear. My first name is Bill. When joining photography forums, I became "bronicabill", and the name has stuck ever since!
