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.
Aside from the classics, I have seen a Seaman Samples, and a Sergeant Vader.
I have always wanted to see a Captain Crunch, America or Planet.
Not that funny but yeah
I was stationed with a SGT Major in Ft Hood in the mid-90s, I remember that happening all the time.
I also knew a MAJ Major, CPT and SGT Cox, Major Tule, but the worse one of all was a LT Vulva and it was a female to boot.
We also had a platoon SGT named Richard Johnson, and he went by Dick.
Chanda Leer
Chrystal Chanda Lear
Former Senator Hogg from TX named his daughter Ima...yes Ima Hogg!
I wish I could remember more but sadly the list was lost also.
You're right you can't make this stuff up.
I also knew a Major Lipp. She was not at all a wordy or confrontational person, but people would crack jokes about it anyway. Oh, and her first name was Cherry, and she was decent looking, so behind her back some of the more sexist guys would make jokes about "where Cherry Lipp's Cherry Lips could go." More than once people had to be reported for that one (including reported by me), but unfortunately, in the time I knew her they always seemed to get out of trouble somehow.
I can only imagine Drinkwater at basic...."DRINK WATER" and she come running over.....must have been most hydrated unit ever!
