'Wrong Way'
Might have something to do with a vehicle nav in which I managed to turn the wrong direction at every turn I was supposed to make and still made my point. During the debrief, I am not sure how many times I heard "Here, you went the wrong way. Here, you also went the wrong way. Here...imagine that, you went the wrong way. VanAss(e), we're just gonna call you Wrong Way from here on out..."

The day my promotion to W-3 came thru, I walked in to the Battalion S-1 office and wrote "Super Chief" on the manning board. The S-1, an Infantry Lt., looked up in awe and asked the XO "Is he really a Super Chief" ! Years later while working as a civilian at Ft. Campbell, when people asked "How are you" I often responded "Wonderful". Eventually I became known as "Mr. Wonderful".

My nickname in the Marine Corps was Huggies. I was stationed at HQMC in 1998 before it moved to Quantico, I had a Col who couldn't say my last name if his life depended on it. It kept breaking my name down, Hughes but he would see it as Hug hes = Huggies. It followed me all the way to Camp Pendleton until 2001 when I got out. People I served with still call me Huggies to this day.

Mr. International.
My wife is Bulgarian, my best friend is Russian, and my security folder is about as thick as a dictionary thanks to all the foreign nationals I have regular contact with. Since I'm intel, that always makes for a nice break from work when I need an entire duty day to update my forms.
Had one in Japan, that one was "Japanese Stallion," because I drove the only A-spec Mustang on base, but that one only lasted while I was there.

Mine was Kimbel Slice. One of my sergeants in MOS school out in 29 Palms was big into UFC, and so started calling me Kimbel Slice, a cross between my actual last name and Kimbo Slice.
The name stuck with me even when I was stationed at Cherry Point and deployed to Afghanistan. It's what my CO referred to me as, and even some random MSgt I had never met used it during my first deployment.

When I got to Gemany in 88 I was assigned to a cannon section that had four black SPC who called themselves the four horsemen; they gave me "Trigger", after Roy Rogers horse, they thought the horse was white, I never corrected them.
Iraq 2003: Official radio call sign Otter 13. Got assigned a body recovery mission on the Tigris. Someone decided that becasue we were on the water all day our mission call signs had to start with "wet", being from Oregon, the Beaver State, I'll let your imagination run with that one.
