The story of "Holy":

I try to use Holy as a login on sites like this but of course Holy is taken early on at a Christian site! Years before I became a Christian, I was doing a month of training and familiarization (exposure to "the Fleet") at an F-14 Tomcat squadron. At the time, I was a midshipman at the U. S. Naval Academy. Everyone "had" to have a callsign there, and since my last name sounds like "Toledo," I was dubbed "Holy." When I became a Navy pilot myself, I did not fly tactical aircraft, so I never used my callsign as a "real" callsign in the air. Nonetheless, when I was in flight training, I had my helmet bag embroidered with my name, my callsign "Holy," and an insignia that I had previously earned. Years later, after I became a Christian, I had my bag embroidered again, this time with new insignia I had earned, plus a Christian fish, plus the reference “Ephesians 1:4.” That verse says, “just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be HOLY and blameless before Him,….” So, when I got the callsign, it was nothing to me except clever wordplay. But later I found out that God had determined to place me in Christ and call me “Holy” before the foundation of the world. So I really was “Holy” all along; I just didn’t know it until God actually drew me to Christ! Now, people assume that the callsign has something to do with “religion” before I get to tell them the story.
