The first one I got while I was at Air Force Tech School in Biloxi, Mississippi. I was always interested in the phoenix myth, so that's what I got.

I decided on a Sidewinder rattlesnake because that is the name I used while in the Air Force to identify myself to Tech Controllers at other Air Force installations while troubleshooting. Some folks used the proper phonetic alphabet and some folks didnt. I was one of the ones that didnt. Here it is:
