Anders, does he or doesn't he, have a callsign?

4.1 spoilers...

Here's a partial transcript of the battle scene--although Seelix's wacky coordinates and jargon are beyond me, currently.

Anders: ok, I'm Samuel T. Anders, I was born on Picon, I went to Noyce Elementary School--
Seelix: Get your thumb off the transmit button, Sam, you're blocking the-- {dradis or comms, probably}
Anders: Copy that! Oh, frak me!

Seelix: Longshot, Hardball. Turkey right-four lower three committing. (yeah, got no idea)
Anders: Longshot, I got--uh, gah!--Tally. I got your back. *pause for flying, then--* Seelix there's a raider on you!
Seelix: Shoot, Anders!
Anders: I'm trying to! Gods, c'mon, c'mon--

AND THEN SAM SAVES THE DAY.

End of episode.

Oh. And he discovered his wife was back, hugged her, kissed her cheek and dragged her off for sex...

"I told everyone you were too mean to kill."

OH OTP.

ETA: ALSO. SEELIX IS VERY FINE IN THAT FLIGHT SUIT.

Yeah, I think the formula is first the callsign of the party you're calling, then your own. As in, "Starbuck, Apollo. Kara, stop swooping in and out of my gunsights during battle, you frakking showoff;" or, "Galactica actual, Apollo. Dad, free for dinner?"

Seelix got it right but Anders blew it. I think you're stuck with Longshot.
