== History == The fan club was originally designed as a joke in 1995 to include on Turbonegro's album sleeves, as guitarist Euroboy explained in a 2007: "We thought about how Kiss had the Kiss Army so we thought that Turbonegro should have our own Navy. It started as a joke in Happy-Tom's apartment in 1995. We put his address on the album sleeves and it was all just for laughs."
