What are some of the best name combinations you came across while serving?

COL Battle - we all still call him MAJ Battle. Also had a Air Force doc - last name was Doktor pronounced doctor. I have an appointment with Dr. Doktor.

Thanksgiving 2005, I went to the dining facility at COB Speicher (Tikrit, IZ) to eat at the exact same table, there sat ...drumroll...
- Sergeant Slaughter (me)
- CPT Morgan
- MAJ Blessings (who was the Division Chaplain for 42ID)

I came across a SGT Titsworth, male type.

I worked with a MSG Majors a few years back. She confuse the hell out of people when she answered the phone. I also saw a SGT Faggot on an IRR roster I definitely understand why he wanted to get out.

Also knew a Miltech by the name of Mr. Anger (pronounced Anjer).

When I was promoted to Sergeant, folks started having trouble saying "Sergeant Schwager." It's not that hard, but it was kind of embarrassing when you'd be standing in formation and they'd call your name and screw it up. LOL

We had a "Major Dick" on 22 MEU float. Before the float was over he got promoted to LtCol. In reality, he was a pretty cool guy and didn't live up to his namesake.

An Engineer officer with the last name Dozer

I just saw a Major Payne yesterday at the 6th mp co.

SFC Rich Carey - Sgt Major would be a cool name! Imagine TI's confusion? Can't him call Major or SGM. lol Respect My Awww thority!

There was an Airman Head in our Squadron at Lackland AFB whose first name was Richard, but everyone called him Dick.

We had a JAG officer Major Ream.

Sergeant Smalls, Private Woods

I just saw 2ndLt Boots yesterday and Chief Carrier.

Also once had a guy named Sgt Mazur. Got similar reactions to what you stated.

There was a Sgt Assman in the 16th MP BDE when I was at Bragg. I think he was in the 21st or 118th MP co.

.

I was "arrested" (detained) in Da Nang by the Provost Marshall : Major Dick.

I was in civilian clothes and driving a USAID vehicle.  I passed him in his well marked jeep by going around him via the White Elephant parking lot (empty, lunch time). He was so pissed off that he stopped me an made me go to the "jail(?)" and was in such a hurry to penalize me, he took my "civilian" ID card from my hands when I was handing it to the desk Sgt (excellent ruse), and threw it at the desk Sgt and told him to write me up and that I would hear from him.....he did that just as the desk Sgt was about to ask my "rank" (looking at the form he was reading from)....which would have been a disaster as I would have been obligated to divulge my "military" staus (honest to a fault), and would have then said "Sgt, USAF" and all hell would have descended upon me.

Post Script: I had told the Major I could not leave the vehicle I was traveling in as a Viet employee was in the van and I was carrying classified mail for the Ambassador. He forced me to park the van outside the compound and follow him to the "desk" Sgt (high up behind a formidable "wall".

Net result:  when the Console deputy heard my side of the story...he proceeded to dictate a letter to the Major and his superiors that was a scathing rebuff for his actions.

I had a new soldier, his first and last name was same as mine and did the unit assign him to me as a joke?  Maybe so.

It is great we can laugh at ourselfs

My last name has seen its fair share of innuendo 

Seen a PVT Fück and went to basic with Dick Head (was in the movie Renaissance Man).    

I had a substitute teach named MR. Richard Head.  Supposedly his wife was named Anita.  It's not army but it was still funny.  I did know a SGT named Richard Dees or Dick Dees.
