Knew of a controller with the license plate “Sky God”. It’s definitely a good way to ensure you only ever certify at one facility.

Depends on who your audience is.
If it's an average Joe on the street, as soon as you get access to the building and a DOT badge, you are a controller.
If it's a pilot, as soon as you get to talk on the radio, you are a controller.
If it's your friends/family, once you CPC.
If it's anyone with more seniority than you, you'll always just be the dumb trainee who gets to work on their own after a santa claus check ride.
