| ::::No problem at all. I was a member of the drill team in the Army Cadets, and while it wasn't one of our official commands, w used "dress and cover" quite a bit. Don't know where we got it from though :) --[[User:Madbrood|Madbrood]] 13:02, 29 September 2006 (CDT) | | ::::No problem at all.

| :::::In the Army, we use dress and cover as meaning "get properly placed in a formation." It comes from two commands "Dress right, dress," which means aligning with the person to your right, all the way down to the squad leader. "Cover" means alligning in ranks behind the person in front of you. With both dress and cover, everyone is in a (hopefully) perfectly spaced formation. --[[User:Talos|Talos]] 13:06, 29 September 2006 (CDT)

| :::''OMG''. "Freaker?!" A handful of ideas for the origin of his name, some of them good for the female crew, none of them good for captured female Cylon agents (unless he's ''really'' good) come to mind. Thorne's "second," maybe? Ew. Maybe it's best NOT to explore this one. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 10:37, 29 September 2006 (CDT) | | :::''OMG''. "Freaker?!"

| ::::Well, I made my suggestion for the origin of his name below. I'm just hoping that it's correct and not because he's good at...anything else. ^_^;;;--<font color="#4b0082">[[User:Mitsukai|み使い]]</font> <font color="#2f4f4f">''[[User_talk:Mitsukai|Mitsukai]]''</font> 00:44, 21 October 2006 (CDT)

| == Callsign vs. Nickname ==
| |
|
| |
| Since it is clear that Firelli is a CIC tactical officer, the issue over what "Freaker" is seems to have come up. I believe it to be a nickname, but a few seem to believe it to be a callsign. Thoughts? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 00:13, 21 October 2006 (CDT)

| :It could very well be a nickname instead of a callsign. I made the mistake of assuming it was a callsign, based on the fact that "Freaker" is a (likely) reference to '''[[Wikipedia:Radio frequency|frequencies]]''', something natural for an ECO of a Raptor. However, since he may be a communications officer (not tactical), "Freaker" may be what the Colonials call their comm folks, much as US Sailors call their [[Wikipedia:Radioman|IT]]s "[[Wikipedia:Sparky|Sparky]]". I'll admit I probably need to rewatch the ep again to confirm he's a CIC officer and not a flight officer, but ultimately based on my conjecture above callsign or nickname are both plausible.--<font color="#4b0082">[[User:Mitsukai|み使い]]</font> <font color="#2f4f4f">''[[User_talk:Mitsukai|Mitsukai]]''</font> 00:38, 21 October 2006 (CDT)

| Isn't this Firelli? http://bsgmedia.org/gallery/displayimage.php?album=158&pos=704 <br/>

| If yes, he is announcing the destruction of the Resurrection Ship. He is only identified by name in the extended version, so I guess people just couldn't place him in the other episodes and assumed his scenes got cut. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 16:52, 9 September 2007 (CDT)

| ::Thought so. :) I'll move it from the notes into the article. And he indeed seems to be a/the tactical officer. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 17:15, 9 September 2007 (CDT)
