federalist22 - it's a throwback to our founding fathers and the Federalist Papers.
"Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." -- James Madison, The Federalist Papers
"The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed." -- Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers at 184-188
As for 22, February 22nd is my birthday (also George Washington's) and adding a number the first time makes it easy to get a username validated when joining a site.- Federalist22

Well, it's an abbreviated version of my company name. Figured it was better than "Flashlight", which is what the local LEOs call me on their tac channels. I can only poke fun at myself for so long...

The Fifth Profession was a novel written by David Morrell back in 1990. It dealt with professional close-protection and it's connection to what the author called 'the fifth profession', protecting others. The "47" referrences the Japanese story of "The 47 Ronin" who were a band of masterless Samurai. The term ronin became associated with a samurai who was for hire, having no one master.
When I started posting to internet forums several years ago I just put the two together.

Nothing fancy, it was my first callsign in the Army:
Charlie: C-Coy
2: 2nd Platoon
6: callsign for the Platoonleader
After my active duty I went to the reserves and have transferred through a number of units. Currently on the roster of a Mech Inf Regt. Everybody in the unit calls me LT, since that's my rank.
