What are some of the best name combinations you came across while serving?
I knew a Soldier with the last name Major and he was a sergeant, so when someone would call his name SGT Major, Soldiers would go to parade rest or the Sergeant Major (E-9) would turn around.

I don't remember all of them but I have seen so many funny names. A couple I do remember was a SGT Lechuga, which translated from Spanish is "Lettuce" in English. Have an NCO in my unit here named SGT Organ. The very first one I ever saw was a SFC Self, who worked in the Self Help Store.

All throughout Basic the DS would call you Private or they would just say You. We had a PVT Yu in my class. Poor guy must have gone crazy hearing his name all the time.

I worked with an NCO, last name Halleman who's wife was from the Philippines. I asked him if they did have kids, would they be considered, "Halle-ppinos" Last time I told that "joke" Bad LT, bad :-)

In Vilseck, Germany, I took a class where one of the instructors was named: General Marshall. I though we had a GO teaching and that would be weird but cool. Come to find out, General was the retired NCO's first name. I wonder if his parents had other aspirations for him in the beginning?

SGT Bryon Sergent
While I was station at Ft. Campbell and was on CQ had a lt call for the commander with a last name of Kernel. Kept asking for his last name and he finally got o=pissed off and said just let me speak with your commander. when I went in the office to notify the captain I told him that there was a LTC on the phone and wouldn't give me his last name. He let me off the hook. felt kinda stupid after that!

I had a Battalion Commander with last name of Admiral & the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Thus making him: Lieutenant Colonel Admiral.

I remember a MASH ep when Radar was given Captains bars and called Capt Corporal in order to enter the O club at the Air Base. I was the ep that introduced the new doc to replace Trapper.

Captain Morgan. He would do the posture of the picture of the buccaneer with his right foot a top of the keg with his knee bent. He had retired a Major.

I just remembered another one. I had a team leader named Richard Hare. He didn't go by "Dick", but that's what we called him.

My wife loves the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. So every time I am talking about one of my detachment OICs she bursts out laughing. His name is CPT Barboza. (Though in the movie it is Barbosa)
