nilmDOWN2s wouldn't be valid for USAF systems because it contains a dictionary word (DOWN). A couple that I have used:
Tr3$$3lRu13$@11!

On important sites (bank accounts, work etc) I just take the name of the page & run it through a mixed substitution/transposition cipher that I have memorized.
That way if I ever forget the password I can easily decipher it using the information on the site itself.

Let's say I was using it for this site (which I don't incidentally).
You would start with buckeyeplanet.
A very simple encryption algorithm is the Caesar cipher.
If we just use a shift 1 we get:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
zabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy
Take each letter from the word, find it in the top alphabet & then replace it with the one directly underneath.
Doing that with buckeyeplanet gives us:

Since most systems require at least one alpha numeric character you can just do what many people do normally...replace any vowels with a corresponding character (ie a=@, e=3, i=1, o=0, u=^). If a upper case letter is required you can make a consistent rule to always make the same character upper case every time...so let's say the third from the right.
Doing that leave us with:
@tbjdxd0kzMds
bucknuts = @tbjmTsr
The two ciphers I use are ones I can do in my head without writing them down so it's much quicker & easier for me in practice.
Basically the advantage is that it allows me to create a unique password for every site I visit without it being necessary to remember what the password is. If I completely forget the pword for a site I can just re-encode it on the fly from the page itself.

If anyone is looking for a good password manager I've been using LastPass for over a year and it's well worth the $12 a year.
