Call Sign: "Atlas"

Today I official graduated from ASTAC school I received my call sign "Atlas". Not the paper map, the greek god charged with holding up the entire world. Ya I know I'm awesome at least today. The story behind a call sign is never really fully told but I did have a lot on my shoulders during the course and still made it through, now on to the fleet.
The middle 5 is our class with instructors on the ends. From left to right our class call signs: Jeeves, Snorlax, Atlas, SAP, Siri

In Greek mythology, Atlas was the primordial Titan who held up the celestial sphere.

Hi,
your picture of Atlas is not correct: He doesn´t lift the world, but the sky !

Best wishes from good old Germany
