Punisha Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I think the ladies should come up with the name once they organize and discuss the idea. Since I started work on my article, I know of 3 TD ladies now interested in the patrol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting the ladies come up with their own name does seem like an excellent idea.Sent from the far side of Mos Eisley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait a couple more days and then make a poll Thanks for sharing everybody!! There were some Black Widows that chimed in on the Facebook thread. If you could add those.

I've never been more frightened in my life than when I woke up one morning to find a camel spider on my chest. It was approximately 0300. I ran out into the Afghan desert dressed only in my skivvies and subsequently was subject to the humiliation of the E4 Mafia. I consudered heavily moving to Adelaide, Australia until I learned of large huntsman spiders. Nope. Nope. Nope. And nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuckuss Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Personally, I don't want to be objectified or compared to a Nazi! I agree that the ladies should be the ones to make a final call on the name (and females only voting, if it comes to one). I appreciate all the suggestions and really like the "Sand Sisters," as it has the designation of a Sandy mixed with the camaraderie of sisterhood. There doesn't seem to be anything that might be conceived as offensive to this name. Correct me if I'm wrong! Other suggestions could be: The Dunecats (an animal native to Tatooine) or to come up with our own acronym, like C.A.T.S. for Crazy A** Tatooine Sisters....yes, we need something else for the first two, but for now I've got nothing. Suggestions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I'm in agreement, let our sandy sisters have ultimate decision, then Dutchy finalize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraulein Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Perhaps when it comes to voting - we give the option of three final names? and then break it down to the one? I have see at least four or five that I currently like. edit - there may be an influx of posters soon (hopefully), I am attempting to contact the other 33 TDs (not including those who have posted and myself...which is what 2?) edit 2 - When it comes to patches - can we have Juan design it? I know that some of us already have friends that do our local stuff. But Juan is MEPD. Want the money to go to a fellow Sandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pm me the names that you reaaaaaaally like and I'll ake sure that a poll wil be created with a set timeline. Regarding patches, I think that we definitely should ask Luis"Sandman Tigui" and John "Henselmonster" to work something out with you ladies. They both have mad skills..

Bandaid Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I've been chased by camel spiders in Kuwait and Iraq as they like to hide in your shadow. NOPE NOPE NOPE. I chased one back once to try to take a picture, no BS it burrowed in the sand and disappeared into the sand like something from tremors.
