The SF guys I hung out with had/were using IRC on their laptop back in 2004 to communicate with other elements and their HQ which was God knows where. I was airborne infantry and we had an SF team on our camp, we worked mostly separately but hung out together a lot. After he showed it to me he told me the call signs were never to be repeated. I couldn't remember them if I wanted to. They had the laptop hooked up to sat coms. It was pretty cool for back then.
