Callsign of the day

Callsign "Jayhawk"

I am cloked at all times in Kansas... I am a die hard fan of anything that has the word Kansas in it... If you don't see me in Kansas gear -out in town-, my socks or underwear probably say Kansas. Therefore, during my AIC Basic class, my instructors (after being annoyed with my bragging on Kansas teams day in and day out) had no choice but to give me the callsign "Jayhawk"...:) ROCK CHALK!
