Air Refueling Squadrons
Do you have a reference for the 55 ARS deactivation and the 54th and 55th's nicknames?--Ndunruh (talk) 17:28, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

I am currently a member of the 55th. I can post the Order number after the ceremony on the 1st. I am sure the AF will update the squadron's fact sheet, or take it down all together. As for the nicknames, the 54th are called the chickens due to the resemblance the bird on their patch has to a chicken. For the 55th, it is a long story passed down from squadron member to squadron member. As it was told to me, when the unit stood up in 94 they were asked to come up with a radio callsign. Somebody mentioned Gibbon wasn't spoken for, but none of the senior leadership liked it very much. So gibbon eventually turned into monkey. And they wound up choosing GASSR as the radio callsign anyway. Well, all the squadron members took to monkey very quickly so we've been monkeys every since. To the point that our squadron personnel board has pictures of all currently assigned personnel with their "monkey name" underneath their given name. Timefinder (talk) 02:52, 31 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Copy, if you have a source you can cite it really helps wikipedia's cerdibility. I imagine that Altus will publish a news story about the 54th's deactivation, but if there's a squadron web page or even a squadron history book that someone could get through a FOIA request for the 55th stuff it would help a lot (and prevent people from reverting your edits as someone did to the initial change you made to the 54 ARS page).  Thanks for your participation and please keep contributing.--Ndunruh (talk) 14:08, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Timefinder. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Timefinder~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:06, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
