My Forum name is a shortened version of my full name and is the name by which most people know me.
My avatar is a recent photo of me. When I first began participating in the Forum I used my old Army War College computer name (last name and first initial): boosed (which I pronounced "boose ed," but apparently was perceived as something like "boost"). My previous avatar (image 1, below) was a 54-year-old photo of me as a Navy ROTC Midshipman at Cornell because I like maritime history. But I also like to see what my Forum friends and interlocutors look like, so I switched to my actual name and a more current image.
The other image that appears in my profile is the jacket photo from one of my books, US Army Forces in the Korean War.
