Had a guy on MW:O site help me with that. It actually says "Old Dragon Battle Group" or as close to the translation allows. Had a guy named Raizo helping me out:

Old Dragon 古龍 Kohryu. If you use 古い Furui the adjective nuance changes to something like "useless, beat-up dragon".
Battle Group: 戦闘団 Sentoh-dan. This is the term in use for military history.

古参兵 Kosanhei is "Veteran" (as in Veteran Soldier - it means one who has been in service for long time)
古参龍 Kosanryu would be "Veteran Dragon"

He and I had a couple more conversations about it. Then settled on the final design, he gave me a Japanese font for Photoshop and I went from there.

So. How does one get that nifty signature? Is there a hazing? Does one have to  jump through a hoop of fire? Or maybe destroy a small planet or subjugate its people? Let me know I am interested in it.

Ooooo, I could do with one them fancy sigs - but how well does an ex-FRR-ex-Comstar pilot of the "I'll pilot anything that isn't a light....unless it is a Spider.... oooh shiny" fit with those beautiful sigs....
