Call Signs In macross

Yes, but the Japan of now, is not the Japan of the past leading up to WWII. By design, shame, and/or sheer ignorance, the Japanese of now have few connections to that era, and prefer to distance themselves from it. Most of the Japanese live in the now, so they may not know about abandoned conventions in the former army/air force of one of the preceeding governments of the country.

Yes, there are exceptions to every rule, and the anime cited may be one of them.

so the japanese defence forces listing their callsigns on the internet for everyone to see is a mere figment of my imagination. Yes, I am insane.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the callsign for the entire squadron, and not individual pilots in the squadron.

Here's the Fleet Squadron 7's page: http://www.dii.jda.go.jp/msdf/kanoya/SYOUKAI/7FS/7FS.HTM

Air Station Kanoya: http://www.dii.jda.go.jp/msdf/kanoya/SYOUKAI/ASS/ASS.HTM (In section 2 it lists things like headquarters, (2)Management corps, (3)Guard corps, (4)Service corps, (5)Accounting corps, (6)Public welfare corps, (7)Hygiene corps.)

Wasn't your original question, and arguement on individual callsigns for individual pilots?

You right. I misread it. But. I stil belive the unspacy being an international group. Would still have callsigns.

Yes, agreed. And as others have posted, they do: D-1, D-2, D-3, Skull-1, Eagle 1, Alpha 1, Omega 1, etc..
