SandRat--You obviously have had military experience. Where does "SandRat" come from--and why not explain it in your tagline?

RAT From RATT or Radio TeleType as I had several of those that I was in charge of to support tactical units.

Sand from the fact that I live in the Arizona Desert.

The Tagline comes from the fact that I am a retired US Army officer and that is the Honor Code that we were sworn to live by (see Gen McCarthur's Farewell Speech to the Corps of Cadets at West Point)
