 I was always known, my call sign was chaos. Now, when I was the regimental commander of 7,500 sailors and Marines out in the Mojave Desert, there was nothing to do but go blow up the desert. I always had good ideas, at least I thought they were very good ideas. And one day, walking out of my operations officer's office, I noticed chaos written on his whiteboard. I said, what's this about? Curious, you know? We all are. He said, oh, you don't need to know that. Right away, you know, up goes the office. I said, what's it about? And he finally kind of said, well, it means the colonel has an outstanding solution. It was very much tongue-in-cheek, ladies and gentlemen. They didn't consider all my solutions quite as outstanding as I enthusiastically promoted them. But I liked what my irreverent troops had used there, so I adopted it as my call sign.
